[PATCH v2 1/3] wifi: mt76: Separate skb and ptr pointers in mt76_txwi_cache

Tue Jul 28 19:34:32 PDT 2026


Split the skb/ptr union into separate skb and ptr fields to
support keeping both the SKB pointer and page pool pointer
at the same time.

Also add skip_unmap flag to tx_info.buf to handle cases where DMA
unmapping should be skipped.
