PCI rings are used to DMA TX/RX packets. The address of WiFi 7 chips are
different from previous ones, so add them according to hardware design.
Another difference is that driver doesn't need to configure BD (buffer
descriptor) RAM table, which is used by hardware to fetch BD ahead before
fetching whole TX data.
A TX ring contains numbers of TX BD (e.g. 512):
TX BD (buffer descriptor; continual memory)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
