 With the new EDMA descriptor format, a single descriptor can contain up
 to four buffer pointers. By splitting the buffer into two parts, we can
 let the hardware add the padding internally instead of using memmove on
 the skb data.

Felix,

This patch again introduced "ath: Failed to stop TX DMA!" for AR9380+ chips.
After reverting this, the errors are completely gone away. Please look into this ASAP.
How frequent are these errors in your tests? I ran several tests on embedded hardware with AR9380 and didn't notice any issues.
