Subject: [PATCH 01/16] iwlwifi: validate enhanced tx power entry
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2009 11:56:23 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1258142198-3223-2-git-send-email-reinette.chatre@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1258142198-3223-1-git-send-email-reinette.chatre@intel.com>

From: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com>

Validate enhanced tx power entry read from EEPROM before applying the
tx power value. Different versions of EEPROM might contain different size
of table; always a good idea to make sure the entry is valid before
applying to the targeted channel.
