When doing manual injection of the frame, it is required to check if the TX FIFO is ready to accept the next word of the frame. For this we are using 'readx_poll_timeout_atomic', the only problem is that before it actually checks the status, is determining the time when to finish polling the status. Which seems to be an expensive operation. Therefore check the status of the TX FIFO before calling 'readx_poll_timeout_atomic'. Doing this will improve the TX bitrate by ~70%. Because 99% the FIFO is ready by that time. The measurements were done using iperf3.

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.
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.
