From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx> This value is not really very useful by itself, yet some drivers (including iwlwifi until I can figure out what it should do) use it. At least rename it to "last_tsf" to indicate the meaning and add a note that it may be really old. I suspect the value may become useful combined with the rx_status->mactime, but we don't (yet) store that value and pass it to the driver.
