After over 1100 (!) patches we have now reached a state where I would
like to start discussing about pushing the driver to the wireless
trees and replacing the staging driver.
The driver is now a lot smaller and looks like a proper Linux driver.
The size of the driver (measured with simple wc -l) dropped from 49
kLOC to 18 kLOC and the number of the .c and .h files dropped from 107
to 22. Most importantly the number of subdirectories reduced from 26
to zero :)
There are two remaining checkpatch warnings in the driver which we
decided to omit for now:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/debug.c:31:
WARNING: printk() should include KERN_ facility level
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath6kl/sdio.c:527:
WARNING: msleep < 20ms can sleep for up to 20ms;
see Documentation/timers/timers-howto.txt
The driver has endian annotations for all the hardware specific
structures and there are no sparse errors. Unfortunately I don't have
any big endian hardware to test that right now.
We have been testing the driver both on x86 and arm platforms. The
code is also compiled with sparc and parisc cross compilers.
Notable missing features compared to the current staging driver are:
o HCI over SDIO support
o nl80211 testmode
o firmware logging
o suspend support
Testmode, firmware logging and suspend support will be added soon. HCI
over SDIO support will be more difficult as the HCI driver needs to
share code with the wifi driver. This is something we need to research
more.
Also I want to point out the changes I did for signed endian support.
As I wasn't able to find any support for signed endian annotations I
decided to follow what NTFS has done and added my own. Grep for sle16
and sle32, especially from wmi.h.
Various people have been working on the cleanup, the hall of
fame based on number of patches is:

ath9k_hw: calculate a much better approximation of channel noise
Currently ath9k presents the internal calibrated noise floor as channel
noise measurement, however this results in highly chip specific values
that are only useful as relative measurements but do not resemble any
real channel noise values.
In order to give a much better approximation of the real channel noise,
add the difference between the measured noise floor and the nominal
chip specific noise floor to the default minimum channel noise value,
which is currently used to calculate the signal strength from the RSSI
value. This may not be 100% accurate, but it's much better than what's
there before.

I noticed that you took some time back in late 2009 to 'consolidate' the
split format-strings present in the bonding driver at the time and I've
decided I'm fine to leave them the way they are. The main point of my
patch was to change the output and I would like to get that included.
Here is my updated patch...
Subject: [PATCH net-next-2.6 v2] bonding: reduce noise during init
Many are using sysfs to configure bonding rather than module options, so
there is no need for bonding to throw this warning in normal cases.
Keep the message around when debugging is enabled as it might be useful
for someone desperate enough to enable debugging, but eliminate it
otherwise.

bonding: fix string comparison errors
When a bond contains a device where one name is the subset of another
(eth1 and eth10, for example), one cannot properly set the primary
device or the currently active device.
This was reported and based on work by Takuma Umeya. I also verified
the problem and tested that this fix resolves it.
V2: A few did not like the the current code or my changes, so I
refactored bonding_store_primary and bonding_store_active_slave to be a
bit cleaner, dropped the use of strnicmp since we did not really need
the comparison to be case insensitive, and formatted the input string
from sysfs so a comparison to IFNAMSIZ could be used.
I also discovered an error in bonding_store_active_slave that would
modify bond->primary_slave rather than bond->curr_active_slave before
forcing the bonding driver to choose a new active slave.
V3: Actually sending the proper patch....

md/raid10: Handle read errors during recovery better.
Currently when we get a read error during recovery, we simply abort
the recovery.
Instead, repeat the read in page-sized blocks.
On successful reads, write to the target.
On read errors, record a bad block on the destination,
and only if that fails do we abort the recovery.
As we now retry reads we need to know where we read from. This was in
bi_sector but that can be changed during a read attempt.
So store the correct from_addr and to_addr in the r10_bio for later
access.
md/raid10: simplify read error handling during recovery.
If a read error is detected during recovery the code currently
fails the read device.
This isn't really necessary. recovery_request_write will signal
a write error to end_sync_write and it will record a write
error on the destination device which will record a bad block
there or kick it from the array.
