ath9k: move hw code to its own module hw code for Atheros 802.11n hardware is commmon between different chipsets. This moves this code into a separate module, the next expected user of this code will be the ath9k_htc module. The ath9k/ dir is now selected by ATH9K_HW, an option which gets selected by either ath9k or ath9k_htc, but remains invisible for user menuconfig configuration. If either ath9k or ath9k_htc will be compiled into the kernel ath9k_hw will also be compiled in. Cc: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: Luis R.

ath9k_common: add new module to share 802.11n driver helpers ath9k and ath9k_htc share a lot of common hardware characteristics. They only differ in that ath9k_htc works with a target CPU and ath9k works directly with the hardware. ath9k_htc will do *some* things in the firmware, but a lot of others on the host. The common 802.11n hardware code is already shared through the ath9k_hw module. Common helpers amongst all Atheros drivers can use the ath module, this includes ath5k and ar9170 as users. But there is some common driver specific helpers which are not exactly hardware code which ath9k and ath9k_htc can share. We'll be using ath9k_common for this to avoid bloating the ath module and the common 802.11n hardware module ath9k_hw. We start by sharing skb pre and post processing in preparation for a hand off to mac80211. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

This includes the AR9285 and the miniPCI AR9223 and AR9220 (which themselves have AR9280+AR5133). We now refer people to the wiki page as it seems this is not as popular as we would have hoped.
