Subject: Re: [PATCH] Add .set_antenna callback in ath6kl driver to remove
 wireless core warns

I am not sure it works fine. Like ath6kl driver send another cmd to
firmare, I have just filled up the cmd buffer with "tx_ant", and
"rx_ant" values, then use "ath6kl_wmi_cmd_send()" api to send the cmd
buffer to firmware.
I have resend the patch as there are some errors in the previous patch.
Let me know if any modifications are needed?
