+/**
+ * DOC: Hardware descriptor functions
+ *
+ * Here we handle the processing of the low-level hw descriptors
+ * that hw reads and writes via DMA for each TX and RX attempt (that means
+ * we can also have descriptors for failed TX/RX tries). We have two kind of
+ * descriptors for RX and TX, control descriptors tell the hw how to send or
+ * receive a packet where to read/write it from/to etc and status descriptors
+ * that contain information about how the packet was sent or received (errors
+ * included).
+ *
+ * Descriptor format is not exactly the same for each MAC chip version so we
+ * have function pointers on &struct ath5k_hw we initialize at runtime based on
+ * the chip used.
