If we want to shrink skb->cb then we'd have to see about
reducing struct ieee80211_tx_info, which gets embedded inside
skb->cb[].
It provides a scratch space to be used by wireless drivers.
ar5523 uses the maximum space available today (40 bytes), but it seems
we don't need this -- data->skb pointer seems to always point back to the
skb whose cb buffer the data structure resides, iow, given a pointer to the
embedded control buffer we can infer the skb address.

A negative buffer size doesn't make sense and it breaks this check in
ar5523_get_max_rxsz():
if (!ar->rxbufsz || ar->rxbufsz > AR5523_SANE_RXBUFSZ) { ...

This driver is for the AR5523 chipset from Atheros. It was created
in 2007 by Christoph Hellwig but it was never finished. I found it a
couple of months ago and after some polishing it's working pretty
fine.
The driver was written with the FreeBSD driver (uath) as reference,
which was written with the reverse-engineered windows driver as
reference, hence the feature set is very limited. Station mode
only, no HW crypto offload.
