Vipin Mehta 30295c8936 staging: add ath6kl driver for AR6003 chip
AR6003 is a single stream, SDIO based 802.11 chipset from
Atheros optimized for mobile and embedded devices. ath6kl is a
cfg80211 driver for AR6003 and supports both the station and
AP mode of operation.

Station mode supports 802.11 a/b/g/n with HT20 on 2.4/5GHz and
HT40 only on 5GHz. Some of the other features include WPA/WPA2,
WPS, WMM, WMM-PS, and BT coexistence. AP mode can be operated
only in b/g mode with support for a subset of features mentioned
above.

The driver supports cfg80211 but comes with its own set of
wext ioctls which have historically supported some of our
customers with features like BT 3.0 and AP mode of operation.

For further details, please refer to:

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath6kl

The driver requires firmware that runs on the chip's network
processor. The majority of it is stored in ROM. The binaries
that are downloaded and executed from RAM are as follows:

1) Patch against the code in ROM for bug fixes and feature
   enhancements.
2) Code to copy the data from the OTP region of the memory
   into RAM.
3) Calibration file carrying board specific data.

The above files need to be present in the directory
'/lib/firmware/ath6k/AR6003/hw2.0/' for the driver to initialize
the chip upon enumeration. The files can be downloaded from the
link specified at the following location:

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath6kl#Download

This driver is only provided in the interim while we work on
the mac80211 replacement, ath6k. Once the mac80211 driver
achieves feature parity with the ath6kl driver, the ath6kl will
be deprecated and removed from staging.

menuconfig STAGING
bool "Staging drivers"
default n
---help---
This option allows you to select a number of drivers that are
not of the "normal" Linux kernel quality level. These drivers
are placed here in order to get a wider audience to make use of
them. Please note that these drivers are under heavy
development, may or may not work, and may contain userspace
interfaces that most likely will be changed in the near
future.
Using any of these drivers will taint your kernel which might
affect support options from both the community, and various
commercial support organizations.
If you wish to work on these drivers, to help improve them, or
to report problems you have with them, please see the
driver_name.README file in the drivers/staging/ directory to
see what needs to be worked on, and who to contact.
If in doubt, say N here.
if STAGING
config STAGING_EXCLUDE_BUILD
bool "Exclude Staging drivers from being built" if STAGING
default y
---help---
Are you sure you really want to build the staging drivers?
They taint your kernel, don't live up to the normal Linux
kernel quality standards, are a bit crufty around the edges,
and might go off and kick your dog when you aren't paying
attention.
Say N here to be able to select and build the Staging drivers.
This option is primarily here to prevent them from being built
when selecting 'make allyesconfg' and 'make allmodconfig' so
don't be all that put off, your dog will be just fine.
