-[RFC] rt2x00: For drivers that only need L2 padding don't realign frames
-
-Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@...>
----
-
-Ivo, Gertjan, do you remeber by any chance why this alignment stuff was added
-in the first place? Was it because of DMA restrictions?
-
-While doing some profiling on the rt3052 SoC I noticed that 30-40% time was
-spent in memmove calls. And the culprit is the memmove aligning the payload
-to a 4byte boundary since that has to move a whole bunch of data.
-
-Interesstingly the legacy drivers insert an l2pad between the header and the
-payload but doesn't realign the payload itself to a 4-byte boundary. Hence,
-I came up with this patch and indeed CPU usage improves impressively.
-
-Only tested on rt2800pci!
-
-Thanks,
-Helmut
