This patch will ack RX frames read from the firmware in one single write,
instead of acking all the frames separately. This will reduce the amount of
required communication per frame.

Most probably patch "wl1271: add most of the normal initialization commands
to PLT mode" enabled the RX path in firmware so that now driver received
frames and passed them to mac80211, which warned about them.
Workaround this by not retrieving frames from the hardware, just ignore them.

Instead of acking RX packets read from the FW once all (of several possible)
buffered packets are retrieved, ack packets one by one as they are read. This
enables the FW to start receiving more packets from the network while the
host read operation is still ongoing.

Use the new ieee80211_rx_ni() function instead of ieee80211_rx(). Since we
use a workqueue to handle the RX path, we need to call the new function,
which disables bottom half handling. This patch fixes the NOHZ:
local_softirq_pending messages.

We were not handling endianess correctly. The wl1271 chip runs on
little-endian values. This patch makes sure that all the communication with
the wl1271 firmware is done in little-endian by using cpu_to_le* and
le*_to_cpu where appropriate.
Also, all the struct definitions for data exchanged with the firmware has
been changed to use __le16/32 types instead of u16/32.
This fixes a few sparse warnings, such as these:

partitioning. Along with that change, the translation of all partitions was

This driver supports the wl1271 chipset from Texas Instruments based on the
WiLink(tm) 6.0 mobile platform. Support for wl1273 should be relatively easy
to add. This chipset is designed for embedded devices, with good powersaving
capabilities. The wl1271 chipset is the successor of wl1251 and supports the
802.11b/g/n standards, but currently this driver supports only b/g.
More information about this chipset can be found here:
