This caused unnecessary power consumption and battery drain in other platforms. Remove the pm-qos thing in the driver code and address the throughput issue in Intel pinetrail platfroms in user space using any one of the scripts in below links: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mcgrof/scripts/cpudmalatency.c http://johannes.sipsolutions.net/files/netlatency.c.txt More details can be found in the following bugzilla link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27532 Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan --- drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k.h | 5 ----- drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/init.c | 7 ------- drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/main.c | 8 -------- 3 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k.h b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k.h index ba436cd..0052f64 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k.h +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/ath9k.h @@ -21,7 +21,6 @@ #include #include #include -#include #include "debug.h" #include "common.h" @@ -57,8 +56,6 @@ struct ath_node; #define A_MAX(a, b) ((a) > (b) ?
