As mentioned before, this is current interface with F/W, and this F/W is used
by other marvell's drivers, I can't change it.

All structures defined in this file are related to F/W commands, it should be
better let them be defined in this file.

SYSADPT_NUM_OF_DESC_DATA is define in sysadpt.h.

I should modify it and come out PATCH v3?

So I should come out PATCH v3 based on
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jberg/mac80211-next.git, right?
I wonder if I can't modify the interface with F/W, the only thing that I should
modify for PATCH v3 would be one line comment?
