(6) restructure tx-path of all effected drivers
Restructure tx-path of all effected drivers to respect new TPC support in mac80211. TPC support is added to mac80211 by restructuring of struct ieee80211_tx_info. Therfore the tx-path of all effected drivers is modified to receive struct sta from the stack and respect the new ieee80211_tx_info struct. List of modified driver:

Hi Xose,

Thanks for your hint to really take all drivers into account. I changed the following drivers tx-path to handle the new sts struct:
adm8211
at76c50x-usb
libertas_tf
rtlwifi
wl1251
wlcore

As soon as my last Broadcom patch is accepted,
my renewed sta-change patch goes on the list.

Greetings Thomas
