Subject: [PATCH 4/4] mac80211: revamp beacon configuration

This patch changes mac80211's beacon configuration handling
to never pass skbs to the driver directly but rather always
require the driver to use ieee80211_beacon_get(). Additionally,
it introduces "change flags" on the config_interface() call
to enable drivers to figure out what is changing. Finally, it
removes the beacon_update() driver callback in favour of
having IBSS beacon delivered by ieee80211_beacon_get() as well.

I tested using the current wireless-testing and beacons are gone.

If I revert this patch they reappear.

I'm using the zd1211rw driver on an x86. I also confirmed the missing
beacons using b43, although I haven't tried the reverted patch on that
machine.

I'm not sure what other info to provide. Let me know if anything else is
needed and I'll send post it.
