      rt2x00: Refactor beacon code to make use of start- and stop_queue · 69cf36a4
      Helmut Schaa authored
      This patch allows to dynamically remove beaconing interfaces without
      shutting beaconing down on all interfaces.
      
      The only place to start and stop beaconing are now the start- and
      stop_queue callbacks. Hence, we can remove some register writes during
      interface bring up (config_intf) and only write the correct sync mode
      to the register there.
      
      When multiple beaconing interfaces are present we should enable
      beaconing as soon as mac80211 enables beaconing on at least one of
      them. The beacon queue gets stopped when the last beaconing
      interface was stopped by mac80211. Therefore, introduce another
      interface counter to keep track ot the number of enabled beaconing
      interfaces and start or stop the beacon queue accordingly.
      
      To allow single interfaces to stop beaconing, add a new driver
      callback clear_beacon to clear a single interface's beacon without
      affecting the other interfaces. Don't overload the clear_entry callback
      for clearing beacons as that would introduce additional overhead
      (check for each TX queue) into the clear_entry callback which is used
      on the drivers TX/RX hotpaths.
      
      Furthermore, the write beacon callback doesn't need to enable beaconing
      anymore but since beaconing should be disabled while a new beacon is
      written or cleared we still disable beacon generation and enable it
      afterwards again in the driver specific callbacks. However, beacon
      related interrupts should not be disabled/enabled here, that's solely
      done from the start- and stop queue callbacks. It would be nice to stop
      the beacon queue just before the beacon update and enable it afterwards
      in rt2x00queue itself instead of the current implementation that relies
      on the driver doing the right thing. However, since start- and
      stop_queue are mutex protected we cannot use them for atomic beacon
      updates.
