Hi,
This is a more tentative preview, things are still subject to change.
The included patchsets and their status:
* P2P Device work
I posted this, I'll apply it when I get back unless I see any
objections then :-)
* some more cleanups, including the CSA cleanups
I posted most of these I believe, and will also apply most of it when
I get back
* a brcmsmac patch that I posted -- I'm not going to apply it but I
just wanted to do a random cleanup (the obsolete functions removal)
* and channel context code of course!
This is still WIP, I need to
- address SMPS -- I might just do passive/active # of chains per
channel context and let the driver sort out the rest, this gives it
more information and flexibility
- TX power -- I'm open to suggestions about how we should do this,
technically the user setting could be per virtual interface, but do
we care? I have a feeling it should be per channel since even 11h
TX power reduction is defined for the entire channel
FWIW, multi-channel works in hwsim, but hasn't been tested with actual
drivers yet. If somebody wants to do that while I'm on vacation, the
code is all there in the mac80211-next/wip branch on git.kernel.org. :-)
