Special HTT RX handling for high latency interfaces. Since no DMA physical addresses are used in the RX ring config message (this is not supported by the high latency devices), no RX ring is allocated. All RX skb's are allocated by the driver and passed directly to mac80211 in the HTT RX indication handler. A nice side effect of this is that no huge buffer will be allocated with dma_alloc_coherent. On embedded systems with limited memory resources, the allocation of the RX ring is prone to fail. Some tweaks made to "make it work": Removal of protected bit in 802.11 header frame control field. The chipset seems to do hw decryption but the frame_control protected bit is still set. This is necessary for mac80211 not to drop the frame.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
