I did not ask that, because I saw the tree, and that the initial import
was from the marvell.git tree. The OP might not have realized that the
code was TopDog-related even if he did see it. Since there is no working
mac80211 code for TopDog, any existing hardware-specific code for it may
prove to be a useful reference during the porting process. Anybody
investigating the possibility of stepping up to help in the port needs
to know what is already available and what is not.

I don't think there is any question of *whether* TopDog support is
possible in mrv8k, only when, and "right now" does not yet appear to be
the answer. I really hope to be proven wrong on that, though.
