33e611690e wil6210: Use cached copy of Rx descriptor
Rx descriptors stored in non-cacheable memory area for DMA.
Non-cacheable memory causes long access time from CPU.

Copy rx descriptor to the skb->cb, and use this copy.
It provides faster memory access, and will be usefull to keep
Rx information for later processing (BACK reorder)

2be7d22f06 wireless: add new wil6210 802.11ad 60GHz driver
This adds support for the 60 GHz 802.11ad Wilocity card
through a new driver, wil6210. Wilocity implemented the
firmware, QCA maintains the device driver.

Currently supported:

- STA: with security
- AP: limited to 1 connected STA, security disabled
- Monitor: due to a hardware/firmware limitation
  either control or non-control frames are monitored

Using a STA and AP with this drive, one can assemble
a fully functional BSS. Throughput of 1.2Gbps is achieved
with iperf.

The wil6210 cards have on-board flash memory for the
firmware, the cards comes pre-flashed and no firmware
download is required.
