Subject: [PATCH v2] ath10k: do not use coherent memory for allocated device memory chunks
Date: Mon, 30 Nov 2015 19:32:01 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1448908321-3042-1-git-send-email-nbd@openwrt.org> (raw)

Coherent memory is more expensive to allocate (and constrained on some
architectures where it has to be pre-allocated). It is also completely
unnecessary, since the host has no reason to even access these allocated
memory spaces
