Nice work. Because this is such a significant change, and to maximise testing time, I'm planning to queue this for 4.9 (so I would apply this to ath-next in 3-4 weeks after the merge window closes). But anyone who wants to test this can use master-pending branch from my ath.git tree (uses wireless-testing as the baseline). Sounds good? Testing and review feedback very welcome! -- Sent by pwcli https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9216993/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
