[PATCH rtw-next v3 1/2] wifi: rtw88: download the beacon the reserved page was built with

[Mehmet Fide]

From: Mehmet Fide <mehmet.fide@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

rtw_fw_download_rsvd_page() downloads the beacon twice: once as part of
the reserved page and once more on its own, so that the firmware ends up
with a TX descriptor that describes the beacon rather than the whole
page. The second download fetched a new beacon from mac80211 instead of
downloading the one the page already holds.

Besides the extra work, every beacon fetch advances the DTIM count and,
while a channel switch is announced, the CSA countdown; doing it twice
per update lets a countdown that starts at 2 reach 0, which mac80211
warns about. Hand the beacon skb out of the page build and download
that. The hw scan, which downloads the beacon without a page build,
keeps fetching its own.
