Subject: [PATCH 0/4] brcm80211: general admin and headroom rework

This smallish set contains:
* rework headroom handling in .start_xmit() callback.
* add Cypress maintainers for brcm80211.

The series apply to the master branch of the wireless-drivers-next
repository.

Arend van Spriel (4):
brcmfmac: cleanup kerneldoc for struct brcmf_bus
brcmfmac: use atomic_t for statistic counter in struct brcmf_bus
brcmfmac: rework headroom check in .start_xmit()
MAINTAINERS: add brcm80211 maintainer info from Cypress

Same question as in the previous patch. I only see updates for these

Subject: [PATCH 4/4] MAINTAINERS: add brcm80211 maintainer info from Cypress

Since Cypress took over IoT part of Broadcom some chips supported
by brcmfmac moved over as well. Adding maintainer info of our peers
at Cypress to make their support official.

Hi Kalle,

You are right. My intention was to expose these to debugfs, but clearly
did not include it in this patch series. So how do you want to handle
this. Feel free to drop patch 2 and 3. I can resubmit them with
subsequent patches dealing with exposing it to debugfs if that makes
more sense.

Regards,
Arend

The statistic counter is used in common layer and in the bus layer
in different thread contexts so change to use atomic operations.

What's the point of this field? AFAICS it's only incremented but never
read. What am I missing?

No need to resend if you are going to add the debugfs interface soon.
But the general rule is that we don't add any dead code to kernel and
there was no explanation in the commit log, that's why I asked.
