/**
* DOC: Transport layer - what is it ?
*
* The tranport layer is the layer that deals with the HW directly. It provides
* an abstraction of the underlying HW to the upper layer. The transport layer
* doesn't provide any policy, algorithm or anything of this kind, but only
* mechanisms to make the HW do something.It is not completely stateless but
* close to it.
* We will have an implementation for each different supported bus.
*/
/**
* DOC: Life cycle of the transport layer
*
* The transport layer has a very precise life cycle.
*
* 1) A helper function is called during the module initialization and
* registers the bus driver's ops with the transport's alloc function.
* 2) Bus's probe calls to the transport layer's allocation functions.
* Of course this function is bus specific.
* 3) This allocation functions will spawn the upper layer which will
* register mac80211.
*
* 4) At some point (i.e. mac80211's start call), the op_mode will call
* the following sequence:
* start_hw
* start_fw
*
* 5) Then when finished (or reset):
* stop_fw (a.k.a. stop device for the moment)
* stop_hw
*
* 6) Eventually, the free function will be called.

* DOC: Host command section
*
* A host command is a commaned issued by the upper layer to the fw. There are
* several versions of fw that have several APIs. The transport layer is
* completely agnostic to these differences.
* The transport does provide helper functionnality (i.e. SYNC / ASYNC mode),
