0ce34bc8f7 [PATCH] zd1211rw: Remove addressing abstraction
Instead of passing our own custom 32-bit addresses around and
translating them, this patch makes all our register address constants
absolute and removes the translation.

There are two ugly parts:
 - fw_reg_addr() is needed to compute addresses of firmware registers, as this
   is dynamic based upon firmware
 - inc_addr() needs a small hack to handle byte vs word addressing

However, both of those are only small, and we don't use fw_regs a whole
lot anyway.

The bonuses here include simplicity and improved driver readability. Also, the
fact that registers are now referenced by 16-bit absolute addresses (as
opposed to 32-bit pseudo addresses) means that over 2kb compiled code size has
been shaved off.

Includes some touchups and sparse fixes from Ulrich Kunitz.

741fec53f2 [PATCH] zd1211rw: cleanups
Bit-field constants in zd_chip.h are now defined using a shift expression.
The value 0x08 is now (1 << 3). The fix is intended to improve readability.

Remove misleading comment in zd_mac.c: The function already returns -EPERM
in managed mode (IW_MODE_INFRA).

Remove unused code in zd_mac.c: The unused code intended for debugging
rx_status values is no longer useful.

Added dump_stack() to ZD_ASSERT macro: Output of the stack helps to debug
assertions. Keep in mind that the ZD_ASSERT() macro only results in code,
if DEBUG is defined.

Improved comments for filter_rx()

zd_usb.c: Added driver name to module init and exit functions

c48cf12514 [PATCH] zd1211rw: cleanups
Add static to 2 internal functions. Thanks goes to Adrian Bunk, who found that.

Also made some modifications to the clear functions:

After a discussion on the mailing list, I implemented this code to
have on the one hand sufficient test in debug mode, but on the
other hand reduce the overhead for structure clearing to a
minimum.

A new macro ZD_MEMCLEAR is introduced, which produces code if
DEBUG is set. Locks are not set anymore for structure clearing,
but in debug mode, there is a verification, that the locks have
not been set.

Finally, removed a misleading comment regarding locking in the disconnect
path.

e85d0918b5 [PATCH] ZyDAS ZD1211 USB-WLAN driver
There are 60+ USB wifi adapters available on the market based on the ZyDAS
ZD1211 chip.

Unlike the predecessor (ZD1201), ZD1211 does not have a hardware MAC, so most
data operations are coordinated by the device driver. The ZD1211 chip sits
alongside an RF transceiver which is also controlled by the driver. Our driver
currently supports 2 RF types, we know of one other available in a few marketed
products which we will be supporting soon.

Our driver also supports the newer revision of ZD1211, called ZD1211B. The
initialization and RF operations are slightly different for the new revision,
but the main difference is 802.11e support. Our driver does not support the
QoS features yet, but we think we know how to use them.

This driver is based on ZyDAS's own GPL driver available from www.zydas.com.tw.
ZyDAS engineers have been responsive and supportive of our efforts, so thumbs
up to them. Additionally, the firmware is redistributable and they have
provided device specs.

This driver has been written primarily by Ulrich Kunitz and myself. Graham
Gower, Greg KH, Remco and Bryan Rittmeyer have also contributed. The
developers of ieee80211 and softmac have made our lives so much easier- thanks!

We maintain a small info-page: http://zd1211.ath.cx/wiki/DriverRewrite

If there is enough time for review, we would like to aim for inclusion in
2.6.18. The driver works nicely as a STA, and can connect to both open and
encrypted networks (we are using software-based encryption for now). We will
work towards supporting more advanced features in the future (ad-hoc, master
mode, 802.11a, ...).
