Currently firmware logs are stored in a circular buffer, but this was
not very flexible and fragile. It's a lot easier to store logs to struct
skbuffs and store them in a skb queue. Also this makes it possible
to easily increase the buffer size, even dynamically if we so want (but
that's not yet supported).
From user space point of view nothing should change.

We don't need it as debug calls already have a log level and compiler
should be smart enough to optimise away the code when ath6kl debug code
is not enabled. Also it makes it easier to abstract core code to
ath6kl_core.ko.
In ath6kl_dump_registers() I had to change the debug level from ANY to IRQ
as I removed the AR_DBG_LVL_CHECK() check before calling the function.

This patch addresses a few problems with the commit:
"ath6kl: Implement support for listen interval from userspace"
* The debugfs file required for reading/writing the listen interval
wasn't created. Fix this.
* The interface index was being hardcoded to zero. Fix this.
* Two separate parameters, "listen_interval_time and listen_interval_beacons"
were being used. This fails to work as expected because the FW assigns
higher precedence to "listen_interval_beacons" and "listen_interval_time"
ends up being never used at all.
To handle this, fix the host driver to exclusively use listen interval
based on units of beacon intervals.
To set the listen interval, a user would now do something like this:
echo "10" > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/*/ath6kl/listen_interval

Also in theory, a %u can take take 10 digits so we may as well make

Last May we started working on cleaning up ath6kl driver which is
currently in staging. The work has happened in a separate
ath6kl-cleanup tree:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/kvalo/ath6kl-cleanup.git;a=summary
After over 1100 (!) patches we have now reached a state where I would
like to start discussing about pushing the driver to the wireless
trees and replacing the staging driver.
The driver is now a lot smaller and looks like a proper Linux driver.
The size of the driver (measured with simple wc -l) dropped from 49
kLOC to 18 kLOC and the number of the .c and .h files dropped from 107
to 22. Most importantly the number of subdirectories reduced from 26
to zero :)
There are two remaining checkpatch warnings in the driver which we
decided to omit for now:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/debug.c:31:
WARNING: printk() should include KERN_ facility level
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/sdio.c:527:
WARNING: msleep < 20ms can sleep for up to 20ms;
see Documentation/timers/timers-howto.txt
The driver has endian annotations for all the hardware specific
structures and there are no sparse errors. Unfortunately I don't have
any big endian hardware to test that right now.
We have been testing the driver both on x86 and arm platforms. The
code is also compiled with sparc and parisc cross compilers.
Notable missing features compared to the current staging driver are:
o HCI over SDIO support
o nl80211 testmode
o firmware logging
o suspend support
Testmode, firmware logging and suspend support will be added soon. HCI
over SDIO support will be more difficult as the HCI driver needs to
share code with the wifi driver. This is something we need to research
more.
Also I want to point out the changes I did for signed endian support.
As I wasn't able to find any support for signed endian annotations I
decided to follow what NTFS has done and added my own. Grep for sle16
and sle32, especially from wmi.h.
Various people have been working on the cleanup, the hall of
fame based on number of patches is:
