From 6f8434a754894f5743efc281fda3925ecac258b9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Luciano Coelho Date: Thu, 18 Feb 2010 13:25:45 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] wl1271: skip 3 unused bytes from the NVS Our NVS uploading mechanism had a bug that was causing it to pass three extra zeros at the start of the NVS. This may be a problem in the NVS generation application, but for now we fix it in the driver. Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho Signed-off-by: Juuso Oikarinen Signed-off-by: John W.
