From f33fdcf1b3a02fb92971a577d194ec6c579374af Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan Date: Thu, 9 Dec 2010 21:48:54 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: clean up hardware code for beacon handling The registers TBTT_TIMER ,DMA_BEACON_ALERT ,NEXT_SWBA are need to be configured only for AP and IBSS mode. SWBA register is used for generating software interrupts so that beacon frames will be created by the software.DMA beacon alert register is to indicate the hardware to DMA the contents of beacon buffer to PCU buffer and TBTT to start transmitting the packet buffer to the base band. Clearly these things are not needed for station/monitor mode so remove configuring them. Cc: doug dahlby Signed-off-by: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan Signed-off-by: John W.
