Tx power values can easily fit into uint8_t + only 8 bits are written
to registers; values may overflow only in case if ROM contains
malformed data (but limit is checked anyway).
Tested with RTL8188CUS, dev.rtwn.1.debug=0x2000 (no changes).
for the rtl8188eu chipset
- Rename struct r92c_rom member names: s/channel_plan/reserved5/,
s/xtal_calib/channel_plan to be compliant with definitions of the efuse
in vendor hal_pg.h
Omit unused rates while initializing / dumping Tx power values.
They were not accessed anywhere (except for debugging), so this is
(mostly) no-op.
Tested with
* RTL8188EU, STA mode.
* RTL8812AU, STA mode.

use r92c_init_rf() rather than r92c_init_rf_common() when sc_init_rf()
callback is invoked.
While here, constantly use RF chain instead of RF path in comment.

- Increase Rx buffer size from MCLBYTES to MJUMPAGESIZE.
- Provide an additional defragmentation routine for frames larger
than MCLBYTES; that is required by A-MSDU / Atheros Fast-Frames
support to work with current Tx path implementation.
Enabled features list for RTL8188CE:
- Atheros Fast-Frames;
- A-MPDU (Tx / Rx);
- A-MSDU (Tx / Rx; 4k only);
- Short Guard Interval.
Tested with:
- RTL8188CE (STA+AP) + RTL8821AU (STA).
- RTL8188CE (STA) + RTL8188CUS (AP).
Relnotes: yes
NOTE: some multi-vap configurations (e.g., STA+IBSS) are not stable;
that will be fixed later.
Tested with:
- RTL8188CE, STA + AP mode;
- RTL8188CE, IBSS mode;
- RTL8188CUS, IBSS mode;
- RTL8188EU, IBSS mode.
Relnotes: yes
All devices:
- add support for rate adaptation via ieee80211_amrr(9);
- use short preamble for transmitted frames when needed;
- multi-bss support:
* for RTL8821AU: 2 VAPs at the same time;
* other: 1 any VAP + 1 sta VAP.
RTL8188CE:
- fix IQ calibration bug (reason of significant speed degradation);
- add h/w crypto acceleration support.
USB:
- A-MPDU Tx support;
- short GI support;
Other:
- add support for RTL8812AU / RTL8821AU chipsets
(a/b/g/n only; no ac yet);
- split merged code into subparts:
* bus glue (usb/*, pci/*, rtl*/usb/*, rtl*/pci/*)
* common (if_rtwn*)
* chip-specific (rtl*/*)
- various other bugfixes.
Due to code reorganization, module names / requirements were changed too:
urtwn urtwnfw -> rtwn rtwn_usb rtwnfw
rtwn rtwnfw -> rtwn rtwn_pci rtwnfw
Tested with RTL8188CE, RTL8188CUS, RTL8188EU and RTL8821AU.
