[PATCH] [v13] wireless: Initial driver submission for pureLiFi STA devices

2021-02-12 Thread Srinivasan Raju
This introduces the pureLiFi LiFi driver for LiFi-X, LiFi-XC and LiFi-XL USB devices. This driver implementation has been based on the zd1211rw driver. Driver is based on 802.11 softMAC Architecture and uses native 802.11 for configuration and management. The driver is compiled and tested in ARM
