From 412a6d800c7380c1b87c11080c7da905c27cfea8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sara Sharon Date: Tue, 8 Dec 2015 19:09:05 +0200 Subject: mac80211: support hw managing reorder logic Enable driver to manage the reordering logic itself. This is needed for example for the iwlwifi driver that will support hardware assisted reordering.
