[PATCH v2] p2p: rely on kernel for offchannel TX

Johannes Berg johannes
Thu Nov 25 01:43:31 PST 2010


From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg at intel.com>

With the new kernel functionality to allow off-channel
TX, we can take advantage of that in the P2P code that
currently uses remain-on-channel. If a driver advertises
support for it, it will be asked to handle off-channel
TX by itself.

v2 just changes the driver callback docs
