Ah, OK. So they still write TXCTL first, if the device can't support
unaligned descriptors?
The brcm80211 driver doesn't; it writes TXCTL last, unconditionally.
Do you want me to send another patch which makes it conditional? It
complicates the code with something that might be unnecessary legacy
baggage... but means we don't have to be worried about regressions on
older hardware.
