This patch adds device specific structures to initialize the hardware with basic Tx handling. The original driver loads the embedded firmware in the header file. This driver is implemented to use the firmware APIs. The Tx logic uses three major data structures; two ring buffers with NIC and one database. One ring buffer is used to send information about packets to be sent for NIC. The other is used to get information from NIC about packet that are sent. The database is used to keep the information about DMA mapping. After a packet is sent, the db is used to free the resource used for the packet.

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 reStructuredText 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.
