This patch series adds channel switch support for mt76 usb interfaces.
When testing, I noticed that between 5 or 7 consecutive beacons had the
identical channel switch count set. After some debugging I found out,
that beacon copying over usb took far too long (up to 700ms for one call
of mt76x02u_pre_tbtt_work).
Therefore the first four patches speed up beacon copying and the last
patch enables channel switch support also for usb interfaces.
v6:
* use min_t in mt76u_copy
* use round_up in mt76u_copy
* use additional copy for mmio beacon set again
v5 (thanks to Stanislaw):
* ommit empty mt76x2u_channel_switch_beacon
* copy txwi into beacon skb
v4:
* use multiple of 4 len for usb copy again
v3:
* fixed checkpatch errors
v2 (thanks for the comments Lorenzo):
* correctly track beacon data mask
* clean-ups
* make channel switch fn static (reported by kbuild test robot)

This patch removes a mt76_wr_copy call from the beacon path to hw.
The skb which is used in this place gets therefore build with txwi
inside its data. For mt76 usb drivers, this saves one synchronuous
copy call over usb, which lets the beacon work complete faster.
In mmio case, there is not enough headroom to put the txwi into the
skb, it is therefore using an additional mt76_wr_copy, which is fast
over mmio. Thanks Stanislaw for pointing this out.

2.24.0
Sending beacons to the hardware always happens in batches. In order to
speed up beacon processing on usb devices, this patch splits out common
code an calls it only once (mt76x02_mac_set_beacon_prepare,
mt76x02_mac_set_beacon_finish). Making this split breaks beacon
enabling/disabling per vif. This is fixed by adding a call to set the
bypass mask, if beaconing should be disabled for a vif. Otherwise the
beacon is send after the next beacon interval.
The code is also adapted for the mmio part of the driver, but should not
have any performance implication there.

Use larger batches for usb copy to speed this operation up. Otherwise it
would be too slow for copying new beacons or broadcast frames over usb.
Assure, that always a multiple of 4 Bytes is copied, as outlined in
850e8f6fbd "mt76: round up length on mt76_wr_copy" from Felix Fietkau.

This looks wrong since we do not calculate all beacons, only
up to hweight8(dev->mt76.beacon_mask).
But since we need to calculate number of all beacons we can just
use hweight8(dev->mt76.beacon_mask) directly.

I'm not sure if this is correct for multi bss.
In MT7620 manual BCM_BAYPASS_MASK is described as below:
"
Directly bypasses the Tx Beacon frame with the specified
Beacon number. Bit0=Nth Beacon, bit1=(N- 1)th Beacon,... etc.
N is the number of Beacons defined in the MULTI_BCN_NUM field in the
MAC_BSSID_DW1(offset: 0x1014) register.
0: Disable
1: Enable
"
Assuming manual is correct (it could be wrong) bypass mask should be
calculated differently.

You're right that I made a mistake here. Using
hweight8(dev->mt76.beacon_mask) would be wrong
for usb devices, which may setup buffered broadcast or multicast frames
as additional beacons.
My updated patch therefore uses hweight8(dev->mt76.beacon_data_mask)
directly.

I tested the updated code with my usb nic and an mbss with 2 ap vifs.
Both beacons were transmitted. Maybe the manual is wrong in this place.

If MAC_BSSID_DW1_MBEACON_N is set to 1 (2 beacons) according to manual
bit0 is for second beacon slot and bit1 is for first beacon slot.
Those bits are both marked at once, so no problem will happen.
Problem may happen when you remove first vif/beacon. Then you will
have bit1 marked in ->beacon_data_mask . But bit0 will be expect
in BCM_BAYPASS_MASK by hardware (when MAC_BSSID_DW1_MBEACON_N=0)
This scenarios can be extended to more vifs. So if you no longer
use bcn_idx and use vif_idx directly to point beacon slot/address.
(ie. before for vif_idx 0,4,6, bcn_idx were 0,1,2 now there
will be 0,4,6). You need to specify 7 (8 beacons) in
MT_MAC_BSSID_DW1_MBEACON_N, and set bypass mask accordingly.
For example:
mt76_rmw_field(dev, MT_MAC_BSSID_DW1, MT_MAC_BSSID_DW1_MBEACON_N, 7);
mask = 0;
for (i = 0; i < 8; i++)
if (dev->beacons[i])
mask |= BIT(7 - i);
mt76_wr(dev, MT_BCN_BYPASS_MASK, 0xff00 | ~mask);
But again, this have to be tested. Ideally on mmio hardware which
support more bssid's or on usb hardware with temporally increased
num of bss limitation.

I'm currently fixing this. My next version will include the following for this aspect:
- clear beacon_data_mask before each round of setting beacons
- use ffz(dev->beacon_data_mask) to find next position and put next beacon in the corresponding slot
- as usb and mmio always copy the beacon, free_skb directly afterwards and drop the beacons array (the current code could leak memory for beacons in this array)
- permanently set the number of additional beacons to 7: mt76_rmw_field(dev, MT_MAC_BSSID_DW1, MT_MAC_BSSID_DW1_MBEACON_N, 7)
- updating the beacon bypass mask then becomes: mt76_wr(dev, MT_BCN_BYPASS_MASK, 0xff00 | ~bitrev8(dev->beacon_data_mask))
When I've tested this, I'll send an updated version.
