2009-10-27	wl1271: fix endianess issues	Luciano Coelho	1	-9/+9
	We were not handling endianess correctly. The wl1271 chip runs on little-endian values. This patch makes sure that all the communication with the wl1271 firmware is done in little-endian by using cpu_to_le* and le*_to_cpu where appropriate. Also, all the struct definitions for data exchanged with the firmware has been changed to use __le16/32 types instead of u16/32. This fixes a few sparse warnings, such as these: drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl1271_cmd.c:554:42: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl1271_cmd.c:555:42: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl1271_cmd.c:577:58: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl1271_cmd.c:579:58: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl1271_cmd.c:676:18: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl1271_cmd.c:787:22: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl1271_cmd.c:789:21: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl1271_tx.c:98:47: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different base types) drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl1271_acx.c:932:32: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl1271_boot.c:191:32: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different base types) drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl1271_boot.c:197:38: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different base types) drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl1271_boot.c:199:37: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different base types) drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl1271_init.c:255:40: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) drivers/net/wireless/wl12xx/wl1271_init.c:275:53: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) Reported-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho <luciano.coelho@nokia.com> Reviewed-by: Juuso Oikarinen <juuso.oikarinen@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

2009-08-14	wl1271: add wl1271 driver files	Luciano Coelho	1	-0/+130
	This driver supports the wl1271 chipset from Texas Instruments based on the WiLink(tm) 6.0 mobile platform. Support for wl1273 should be relatively easy to add. This chipset is designed for embedded devices, with good powersaving capabilities. The wl1271 chipset is the successor of wl1251 and supports the 802.11b/g/n standards, but currently this driver supports only b/g.
