From: Luis R. Rodriguez Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2009 11:00:10 +0000 (-0700) Subject: ath9k: move driver core helpers to main.c X-Git-Tag: MMI-PSA29.97-13-9~25754^2~865^2~132 X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=75d7839f4c4ca472bcf0b71f6f682957e19f777a;p=GitHub%2FMotorolaMobilityLLC%2Fkernel-slsi.git ath9k: move driver core helpers to main.c Keep on btcoex.c only hardware access helpers, move the driver core specific code to main.c. To accomplish this we had to split ath_init_btcoex_info() into two parts, the driver core part -- ath_init_btcoex_timer() and the hw specific part -- ath9k_hw_init_btcoex_hw_info(). This highlights how ath_gen_timer is part of the driver core, not hw related, so stuff that into ath_btcoex struct. The ath9k_hw_btcoex_init() code is now put inline on ath_init_softc() through a switch to it easier to follow, since we did that we can now call ath_tx_get_qnum() from the main.c instead of btcoex.c Signed-off-by: Luis R.
