Subject: apm821xx: speed up ath9k-caldata extraction
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ffd8ca18cc292c8dd7b7d7df2d4c605f281bede1;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fadrian.git

apm821xx: speed up ath9k-caldata extraction

Reading and writing to and from flash storage is slow and currently,
the ath10kcal_extract() scripts are even more at an disadvantage
because they use a block size of 1 to be able skip.

This patch reworks the extraction scripts to be much faster and
efficient by reading and writing the calibration data in possibly
one big block.
