Currently AMPDU aggregation is preferred over AMSDU. AMSDU
aggregation is performed only if AMPDU streams in firmware
are full.
This patch adds simultaneous AMSDU and AMPDU aggregation
support. This mechanism helps to improve throughput.
AMSDU is enabled only for 8897 chipsets which supports 4K
transmit buffer. User can disable AMSDU using
'disable_tx_amsdu' module parameter.

Coalesce filters are configured in firmware based on settings
received from cfg80211.
Packet type which is required by firmware is determined based on
provided patterns in a rule:
Unicast: if pattern '01' with offset 0 is found
Multicast: if pattern '33:33' or '01:00:5e' with offset 0 is found
Broadcast: if pattern 'ff:ff:ff:ff' with offset 0 is found
Some example coalesce configuration files:
1) Coalesce Rx data packets from 192.168.0.88
mac address of our device is 00:50:43:21:53:7A
Source IP address offset comes out as 52 after following
calculations:
32 bytes of HW 802.11 header + 8 bytes LLC +
12 bytes in IPV4 header till source IP address
Destination mac is at offset 6 in HW header.
delay=100
condition=1
patterns=01,6+00:50:43:22,10+53:7A,52+c0:a8:00:58
2) Coalesce all broadcast and multicast packets(Multiple packet
types are not allowed in a single rule. Hence created separate
rules)
delay=400
condition=1
patterns=33:33
delay=400
condition=1
patterns=ff:ff:ff:ff
