ath9k_hw: optimize tx status descriptor processing
Disassembly shows, that at least on MIPS, the compiler generates a lot of memory accesses to the same location in the descriptor field parsing. Since it is operating on uncached memory, this can be quite expensive in this hot path. Change the code a bit to help the compiler optimize it properly, and get rid of some unused fields in the ath_tx_status struct. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.
