not sure if these checks are previously avoided may be those revision of
chipsets are obselete ?
NACK. The extra checks that this patch adds have been intentionally
removed, since all earlier versions were never sold and thus do not need
to be considered. This simplifies the generated binary code.

IMHO i don't think this patch does anything wrong to deserve a NACK! sometimes these optimizations make it tad difficult if we want to quickly check with the HAL code.

true i just found from the commit

ath9k_hw: simplify revision checks for AR9280

Since AR9280 v1.0 was never sold (and the initvals removed), v1.0 specific
    revision checks can be removed and the 'v2.0 or later' check can be
    simplified to a check for AR9280 or later.

while adding some new code while AR_9280_SREV_20 later was not in uniform with the other chipset macros. i should have just checked with git annotate reg.h could have found your commit.

thanks for the review!


- Felix
