Subject: [PATCH wireless-next 2/8] wifi: mm81x: release buffered broadcast frames after DTIM
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 15:49:11 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260827054917.255584-3-lachlan.hodges@morsemicro.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260827054917.255584-1-lachlan.hodges@morsemicro.com>

Since we set the HOST_BROADCAST_PS_BUFFERING, mac80211 handles the
buffering of broadcast frames. Make sure after each beacon we call
ieee80211_get_buffered_bc() to release buffered broadcast frames
after each DTIM beacon.
