* cfg80211: remove enum ieee80211_bandJohannes Berg2016-04-12
| | | | | | | | | This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and the only reason for it is that we get IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS out of it. There's no really good reason to not declare the number of bands in nl80211 though, so do that and remove the cfg80211 one. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | None of these files are actually using any __init type directives and hence don't need to include <linux/init.h>. Most are just a left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to code getting copied from one driver to the next.

* carl9170: use ether_addr_equal_64bitsJulia Lawall2014-01-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ether_addr_equal_64bits is more efficient than ether_addr_equal, and can be used when each argument is an array within a structure that contains at least two bytes of data beyond the array. The structures involved are: ieee80211_hdr defined in include/linux/ieee80211.h, ieee80211_bar defined in include/linux/ieee80211.h and ath_common defined in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath.h This was done using Coccinelle (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/).

* carl9170: fix copy and paste mishap in carl9170_handle_mpduChristian Lamparter2012-12-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a regression which was introduced by: "carl9170: split up carl9170_handle_mpdu" Previously, the ieee80211_rx_status was kept on the stack of carl9170_handle_mpdu. Now it's passed into the function as a pointer parameter. Hence, the old memcpy call needs to be fixed. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* carl9170: fix signal strength reporting issuesChristian Lamparter2012-12-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | On A-MPDU frames, the hardware only reports valid signal strength data for the last subframe. This patch fixes it by flagging everything but the last subframe in an A-MPDU to tell mac80211 to ignore the signal strength entirely. Otherwise the empty value (= 0 dbm) will distort the average quite badly. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
* carl9170: split up carl9170_handle_mpduChristian Lamparter2012-10-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | carl9170_handle_mpdu is the final part of the rx path of the driver. It splits the raw data streams from the device into skb packets and passes them on to mac80211. As a result of continuous updates, it grew over the years when new code was added by the following commits: - report A-MPDU status - fix HT peer BA session corruption - A-MPDU frame type filter - ... This patch splits the routine into two stages. The first stage only deals with the details about extracting and verifying the data from the incoming stream. Whereas the second stage packs it into skbs and passes it on to mac80211.

* carl9170: handle traps from firmware loaderChristian Lamparter2012-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the way the driver deals with command responses and traps which are sent through the special interrupt input endpoint 3. While the carl9170 firmware does not use this endpoint for command responses or traps, the firmware loader on the device does. It uses it to notify the host about 'watchdog triggered' in case the firmware/hardware has crashed. Note: Even without this patch, the driver is still able to detect the mishap and reset the device. But previously it did that because the trap event caused an out-of-order message sequence number error, which also triggered a reset.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds an alternative tx status path for BlockAck Requests as the hardware doesn't recognize that a BlockAck Requests is usually acked with a BlockAck and not a legacy ACK. Without this patch, the stack would constantly resent old and stale BARs. So, depending on the receiver stack, this could lead to: - "stuck" ba sessions and package loss, as the stale BAR would reset the sequence each time. - lots of reorder releases. - ...

* | wireless: Remove casts to same typeJoe Perches2012-06-06
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adding casts of objects to the same type is unnecessary and confusing for a human reader. For example, this cast: int y; int *p = (int *)&y; I used the coccinelle script below to find and remove these unnecessary casts. I manually removed the conversions this script produces of casts with __force, __iomem and __user. @@ type T; T *p; @@ - (T *)p + p Neatened the mwifiex_deauthenticate_infra function which was doing odd things with array pointers and not using is_zero_ether_addr.
