Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] wifi: mt76: Separate skb and ptr pointers in mt76_txwi_cache
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 10:34:32 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260729023434.1105517-2-eason.lai@mediatek.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260729023434.1105517-1-eason.lai@mediatek.com>

Split the skb/ptr union into separate skb and ptr fields to
support keeping both the SKB pointer and page pool pointer
at the same time.

Also add skip_unmap flag to tx_info.buf to handle cases where DMA
unmapping should be skipped.
