    wil6210: initialize TX and RX enhanced DMA rings · 96c93589
    Gidon Studinski authored
    Enhanced DMA design includes the following rings:
    - Single RX descriptor ring is used for all VIFs
    - Multiple RX status rings are supported, to allow RSS
    - TX descriptor ring is allocated per connection
    - A single TX status ring is used for all TX descriptor rings
    
    This patch initializes and frees the above descriptor and
    status rings.
    
    The RX SKBs are handled by a new entity of RX buffers manager,
    which handles RX buffers, each one points to an allocated SKB.
    During Rx completion processing, the driver extracts a buffer
    ID which is used as an index to the buffers array.
    After the SKB is freed the buffer is moved from the 'active'
    list to the 'free' list, indicating it can be used for another
    descriptor. During Rx refill, SKBs are allocated and attached
    to 'free' buffers. Those buffers are attached to new descriptors
    and moved to the 'active' list.
    
    New debugfs entries were added to allow edma configuration:
    
    Run the following command to configure the number of status rings:
    echo NUM_OF_STATUS_RINGS > num_rx_status_rings
    
    Run the following command to use extended RX status message for
    additional debug fields from HW:
    echo 0 > compressed_rx_status
    
    Run the following command to control the size of the TX status ring:
    echo TX_STATUS_RING_ORDER > tx_status_ring_order
    The status ring size will be 1 << tx_status_ring_order
    
    Run the following command to control the size of the RX status ring:
    echo RX_STATUS_RING_ORDER > rx_status_ring_order
    Due to HW constrains RX sring order should be bigger than RX ring order
    The status ring size will be 1 << rx_status_ring_order
    
    Run the following command to change the number of RX buffer IDs:
    echo RX_BUFF_ID_COUNT > rx_buff_id_count
