Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: Initialize nbytes to 0
Date: Thu, 5 Jan 2017 14:00:41 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1483653641-8377-1-git-send-email-greearb@candelatech.com> (raw)
From: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com>
ath10k firmware checks nbytes == 0 as part of determining if DMA
has completed successfully. To help make this work more often,
have the driver initialize nbytes to zero when freeing the descriptor
slot.

I am not yet sure if this actually fixes a real problem or not...curious
if others think this is an improvement.
