Re: [PATCH v7 0/4] ath11k/ath12k: implement TX flow control

Hi Jeff,

Friendly follow-up on this series. v7 addressed your spin_lock_bh
comment, and I replied to the rcu_dereference_bh question explaining
why ath12k differs from the ath9k case (happy to do it as a follow-up
if you'd like). My results with VMs are much better with the TX control,
and I think it can help baremetal too.

Any feedback on v7, anything else I can do?
At least, would it be acceptable for ath11k?
For ath12k, if the concern is the locking, the rcu_dereference_bh
refactoring would require changes to existing mac_op_tx code. Is that
the direction you want?

Thanks

Best regards
José Ignacio
