🦋 Constants 🦋

Okay so every single member, one by one, no skips, we're doing the whole thing 🫶

• HAL_RX_BUF_RBM_WBM_IDLE_BUF_LIST — buffer gets returned to the WBM idle buffer list. that's it, that's the whole gig 💅
• HAL_RX_BUF_RBM_WBM_DEV0_IDLE_DESC_LIST — descriptor goes back to the WBM idle descriptor list, and it's device 0's WBM that gets chosen when you're in a multi-device config 👑
• HAL_RX_BUF_RBM_WBM_DEV1_IDLE_DESC_LIST — same descriptor-return-to-WBM-idle-descriptor-list situation, but device 1's WBM is the one picked in a multi-device config ✨
• HAL_RX_BUF_RBM_WBM_DEV2_IDLE_DESC_LIST — and again, descriptor back to the WBM idle descriptor list, this time device 2's WBM is chosen when it's a multi-device config 🦋
• HAL_RX_BUF_RBM_FW_BM — buffer gets returned to FW. short and sweet fr fr
• HAL_RX_BUF_RBM_SW0_BM — for ring 0 — it's returned to host 💖
• HAL_RX_BUF_RBM_SW1_BM — for ring 1 — returned to host 🌸
• HAL_RX_BUF_RBM_SW2_BM — for ring 2 — returned to host 🎀
• HAL_RX_BUF_RBM_SW3_BM — for ring 3 — returned to host ⭐
• HAL_RX_BUF_RBM_SW4_BM — for ring 4 — returned to host 🌈
• HAL_RX_BUF_RBM_SW5_BM — for ring 5 — returned to host 💜
• HAL_RX_BUF_RBM_SW6_BM — for ring 6 — returned to host 🧚

Lowkey the rings are all the same energy, just different numbers, and honestly? iconic consistency 💀

okay that's the whole page, you ate it, periodt 💅✨ this little drop came to you from ./drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath12k — October 2026, go forth and return those buffers correctly bestie 🫶🎀
