Subject: [PATCH 0/3] ath9k: flush patches

These patchs add the mac8021 flush op to both ath9k and ath9k_htc.
Tested with AR9003 and AR9271.

Luis R. Rodriguez (3):
ath9k: implement mac80211 flush op
ath9k_htc: implement mac80211 flush op
ath9k_htc: make ath9k_htc_tx_aggr_oper() static

Ah yes, good point, but I don't see us doing an HIF flush prior to
scan either. Even in the cas where we can rm -rf everything I don't
see us doing an HIF flush, for example device stop, or as you noted
ath9k_htc_radio_disable().

flush() is for other uses, like prior to scanning, it would mean we
can remove some code from where we do flushes as mac80211 would do
that for us in proper places. It also means we can address flushing
within mac80211 instead of the core driver, and we'd do it in one
place, mac80211 instead of drivers.

I don't think this would work.

Queuing of packets is done in the HIF (USB) layer.
Flushing would require dropping (or not) the buffered packets in the
USB layer. Also, we don't actually require this, since IDLE state
is handled in radio_disable(), where everything is flushed properly ...

drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/htc_drv_main.c:441:5:
warning: symbol 'ath9k_htc_tx_aggr_oper'

John, sorry, please hold off on this one, I need to do some more tests.
