b43: Move remaining code from phy.c to phy_a.c

2008-09-05T20:17:42Z

This moves the remaining code from phy.c to phy_a.c phy.c is removed. No functional change. Just moving code and removing dead code. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

b43: Implement dynamic PHY API

2008-08-29T20:24:12Z

This patch implements a dynamic "ops" based PHY API. This is needed in order to conveniently support future PHY types to avoid the "switch"-hell. This patch does not change any functionality. It just moves lots of code from one place to another and adjusts it for the changed data structures. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

b43: use the bitrev helpers rather than rolling a private one

2008-05-14T20:29:50Z

The 4-bit reversal flip_4bit is replaced with the bitrev helper bitrev8 and a 4-bit shift. The B43_WARN is moved to the location where a register is read from for checking there. The other caller explicitly passes an array index which is guaranteed to be within range and so a B43_WARN is not added there.

b43: replace limit_value macro with clamp_val

2008-05-14T20:29:32Z

kernel-provided clamp_val is identical, delete the private limit_value helper. Signed-off-by: Harvey Harrison Cc: Michael Buesch Cc: "John W. Linville" Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

b43: Remove some dead code

b43: Rewrite LO calibration algorithm

2008-05-07T19:02:12Z

This patch distributes the Local Oscillator calibration bursts over time, so that calibration only happens when it's actually needed. Currently we periodically perform a recalibration of the whole table. The table is huge and this takes lots of time. Additionally only small bits of the table are actually needed at a given time. So instead of maintaining a huge table with all possible calibration values, we create dynamic calibration settings that a) We only calibrate when they are actually needed. b) Are cached for some time until they expire. So a recalibration might happen if we need a calibration setting that's not cached, or if the active calibration setting expires. Currently the expire timeout is set to 30 seconds. We may raise that in future. This patch reduces overall memory consumption by nuking the huge static calibration tables. This patch has been tested on several 4306, 4311 and 4318 flavours.

b43: Fix HostFlags data types

2008-04-24T01:25:34Z

The HostFlags are a bitmask of 48bit. So we must use an u64 datatype to hold all bits. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

b43: phy.c fix typo in register write

2008-03-13T19:57:25Z

Commit 61bca6eb85c863603d6054530e2f65c3b9aba85b b43: rewrite A PHY initialization has a typo, the result of the register read should be masked, not the register offset. Signed-off-by: Harvey Harrison Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

b43: Add NPHY channel switch code

2008-01-28T23:09:53Z

This adds code and table data for channel switching on NPHYs. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

b43: Add NPHY radio init code

2008-01-28T23:09:53Z

This adds some code to init the 2055 radio. This patch adds two files "tables_nphy.h" and "tables_nphy.c" Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: John W. Linville
