[PATCH v3 1/3] ath10k: unify tx mode and dispatch

Marek Puzyniak marek.puzyniak at tieto.com
Mon Mar 9 05:45:36 PDT 2015


From: Michal Kazior <michal.kazior at tieto.com>

There are a few different tx paths depending on
firmware and frame itself.

Creating a uniform decision will make it possible
to switch between different txmode easier, both
for testing and for future features as well.
