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.
v7 (thanks to Stanislaw):
* fix mbss beacon settings
* fix compilation with latest upstream
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)

mt76 hw does not send beacons from beacon slots, if the corresponding
bitmask is set accordingly. Therefore we can ommit clearing the beacon
memory. Clearing uses many usb calls, if usb drivers are used. These
calls unnecessarily slow down the beacon tasklet. Thanks to Stanislaw
Gruzska 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.

You merged another patch into this one. Please keep them separated.

Well, this code still does not look quite right. At least it is not
compatible what the BCN_BYPASS_MASK description said in the manual.
I think the code need serious testing on multi-bss (USB support up
to 2 AP bssids) and with broadcast/multicast with some PS stations
on the network.
In particular adding second bssid and remove first one should
be checked.
