ath9k: Enable support for cloned SKBS
Ath9k driver does not modify tx skbs, so SUPPORTS_CLONED_SKBS flag can be set. Enabling this flag significant reduce number of copy operation during TCP Tx. This is especially noticeable on platforms with slower CPU (lower CPU usage brings profits in better TCP Tx troughput results). Tested on MIPS with 560 MHz clock Without CLONED_SKBS flag: TCP Tx 145 Mb/s (iperf result) __copy_user_common consumes 12.9% of CPU (result from perf tool) 0% CPU Idle With CLONED_SKBS flag: TCP Tx 170 Mb/s (iperf result) __copy_user_common consumes 1.8% of CPU (result from perf tool) 12% CPU Idle Signed-off-by: Pawel Kulakowski <pawel.kulakowski@tieto.com> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com>
