Subject: mac80211: introduce ieee80211_beacon_get_tim()
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=eddcbb94f75c3e8944503e9f13c1d29acd0d7052;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

mac80211: introduce ieee80211_beacon_get_tim()

Compared to ieee80211_beacon_get(), the new function
ieee80211_beacon_get_tim() returns information on the
location and length of the TIM IE, which some drivers
need in order to generate the TIM on the device. The
old function, ieee80211_beacon_get(), becomes a small
static inline wrapper around the new one to not break
all drivers.
