Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This is part of the code, but the comment doesn't have it,
add pointers to the code and the FIFO usage for 5000 and
up.

* Driver should normally map queues 0-6 to Tx DMA/FIFO channels 0-6.
* In addition, driver can map queues 7-15 to Tx DMA/FIFO channels 0-3 to
* support 11n aggregation via EDCA DMA channels.
* In addition, driver can map the remaining queues to Tx DMA/FIFO

* The driver sets up each queue to work in one of two modes:
