2010-11-15carl9170: import hw/fw header updatesChristian Lamparter
This patch imports all shared header changes from carl9170fw.git. * add some strategic __aligned(4). This allows the compiler generate optimized code for architectures which can't access (unaligned/packed) data efficiently. ("ath9k_hw: optimize all descriptor access functions") * add a forgotten __CARL9170FW__ ifdef around a private firmware-internal struct. * GET_VAL macro helper Very useful for extracting data out of the bit-packed PHY registers. * cosmetic changes e.g.: _CCA_MINCCA_ to just _CCA_MIN_. * version bump 1.8.8.3 -> 1.9.0.

2010-10-05carl9170: support firmware-based rx filterChristian Lamparter
The hardware rx-filter was essentially disabled, because of a serve, yet unidentifiable problem with iwlagn. Due to these circumstances the driver and mac80211 were left with the job of filtering. This is very unfortunate and has proven to be expensive in terms of latency, memory and load. Therefore the new 1.8.8.3 firmware introduces a flexible filtering infrastructure which allows the driver to offload some of the checks (FCS & PLCP crc check, RA match, control frame filter, etc...) whenever possible. Note: This patch also includes all changes to the shared headers files since the inclusion. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
