[Buildroot] [PATCH v8 1/1] rtl8821au: new package

[Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>]

Christian, All,

On 2015-07-25 10:15 -0700, Christian Stewart spake thusly:
> This patch adds the rtl8821au wifi driver. The driver is sourced from
> ulli-kroll's work on GitHub, which includes various fixes and better LED
> handling. Currently USB3 support is broken in this driver - it will
> only connect to the EHCI controller in a USB3 port.

Ideally, there's no need for this inermediate variable, ...

> +RTL8821AU_LICENSE = GPLv2, proprietary (rtl8821au.bin firmware)
> +RTL8821AU_LICENSE_FILES = COPYING
> +
> +RTL8821AU_MODULE_MAKE_OPTS = \
> +	CONFIG_RTL8812AU_8821AU=m \
> +	KVER=$(LINUX_VERSION_PROBED) \
> +	USER_EXTRA_CFLAGS=$(RTL8821AU_CFLAGS_ENDIAN)

... since you could directly do it here:

    USER_EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DCONFIG_$(call qstrip,$(BR2_ENDIAN))_ENDIAN

But ultimately, this should be check for directly in the code, with:

    #if __BYTE_ORDER__ == __ORDER_LITTLE_ENDIAN__
    #define CONFIG_LITTLE_ENDIAN
    #else
    #define CONFIG_BIG_ENDIAN
    #endif

(Sorry, I forgot to say so in my previous review.)

Otherwise;
