Hi Johannes,

>From the comments so far, I will split this patch into:

-keeping the brcmsmac patch that was send earlier (I thought it is as
single patch out of context if not combined with the goal to add tpc)

-send one single new patch to remove the sta pointer from ieee_tx_info
including all driver changes to respect this. (as each patch should not
break a kernel build, I guess all of this must come in one patch)

-after that introduce the TPC stuff in a separate patch series (where I
address the comments that where already given)

Greetings Thomas
