2015-03-16mwifiex: get rid of BA setup helper functionsZhaoyang Liu
This patch removes BA setup helper routines mwifiex_is_bastream_setup and mwifiex_is_amsdu_in_ampdu_allowed. Current code will use two functions to check bastream setup and amsdu in ampdu. This patch change these functions to flags, thus avoiding redundant spin_lock check while dequeuing TX packets.

2015-01-29mwifiex: do not declare wdev as pointerAvinash Patil
wdev is used even after del_virtual_interface handler in cfg80211 in nl80211_post_doit. Since we have freed wdev in handling of del_virtual_intf, this can result into crash while deleting interface.

Currently AMPDU aggregation is preferred over AMSDU. AMSDU aggregation is performed only if AMPDU streams in firmware are full. This patch adds simultaneous AMSDU and AMPDU aggregation support. This mechanism helps to improve throughput. AMSDU is enabled only for 8897 chipsets which supports 4K transmit buffer. User can disable AMSDU using 'disable_tx_amsdu' module parameter.

2012-06-06wireless: Remove casts to same typeJoe Perches
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.

Hence a lot of SET_ and RESET_ bit operation macros were used to convert the dev_cap format to 11n capability format.
