Subject: [PATCH 13/22] zd1211rw: batch beacon config commands together
Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2011 20:49:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110131184904.10044.29906.stgit@fate.lan> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20110131184657.10044.98610.stgit@fate.lan>

Beacon config function writes beacon to hw one write per byte. This is very
slow (usually taking more than 100ms to finish) and causes high CPU usage
when in AP-mode (kworker at ~50% on Intel Atom N270). By batching commands
together zd_mac_config_beacon() runtime can be lowered to 1/5th and lower
CPU usage to saner levels (<10% on Atom).
