iwlwifi: mvm: New skip over dtim policy
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Our firmware scheduler suffers from false wake-up on 500 time units.
that is if the dtim interval exceeds 500 time units, the fw wakes up,
understands that the next wake-up event is still ahead, and if this event
is more than 10msec in the future - goes back to sleep, otherwise - stay
awake.  For example, say that the beacon interval is 101 and the dtim
period is 5, the dtim interval is 101 x 5 = 505, and we will stay awake
for those extra 5msec.
So on the one hand the dtim interval should be congruent to the beacon
interval times the dtim period, and on the other should minimize
the false wake-ups event.
This change applies only to D0/D3 power modes.
