Currently, the mac80211 layer handles construction and parsing
of 802.11 headers during packet transmission and reception.
Offloading encapsulation and decapsulation to hardware can
significantly enhance performance. This can be achieved by
having the driver advertise hardware support to mac80211 to
bypass 802.11 header processing
v1 -> v2:
- Rebased on ToT
- Firmware service bit check added for EAPOL ETH offload support
- skb free handled in tx completion station negetive case
Nithyanantham Paramasivam (3):
wifi: ath12k: Fix the handling of TX packets in Ethernet mode
wifi: ath12k: Fix TX status reporting to mac80211 when offload is
enabled
wifi: ath12k: Advertise encapsulation/decapsulation offload support to
mac80211
