Juuso Oikarinen 605351e222 wl1271: Increase TX power value
Currently, to avoid distortions, the TX power level has been hardcoded
to a low value. The value is slightly too low for good functionality, so
we increase it from 7dB to 12dB.

Luciano Coelho d0f63b2021 wl1271: fix endianess issues
We were not handling endianess correctly.  The wl1271 chip runs on
little-endian values.  This patch makes sure that all the communication with
the wl1271 firmware is done in little-endian by using cpu_to_le* and
le*_to_cpu where appropriate.

Also, all the struct definitions for data exchanged with the firmware has
been changed to use __le16/32 types instead of u16/32.

This fixes a few sparse warnings, such as these:

Juuso Oikarinen 01c09162cd wl1271: Support for IPv4 ARP filtering
Add support for IPv4 ARP filtering in the driver. This will dramatically
reduce the number of unnecessary interrupts by the device in conqested
networks.

This patch is based on a similar patch to wl1251 by Janne Ylälehto.

Luciano Coelho ac78403e14 wl1271: add workaround to avoid distortion due to excessive tx power
We still don't have proper calibration for our devices, so we are using way
too much power for TX, which causes a lot of distortion.  This hack hardcodes
the txpower to 7dBm.

Luciano Coelho f5fc0f86b0 wl1271: add wl1271 driver files
This driver supports the wl1271 chipset from Texas Instruments based on the
WiLink(tm) 6.0 mobile platform.  Support for wl1273 should be relatively easy
to add.  This chipset is designed for embedded devices, with good powersaving
capabilities.  The wl1271 chipset is the successor of wl1251 and supports the
802.11b/g/n standards, but currently this driver supports only b/g.

More information about this chipset can be found here:
