    rtw88: add TX-AMSDU support · 127eef1d
    Yan-Hsuan Chuang authored
    Based on the mac80211's TXQ implementation, TX-AMSDU can
    be used to get higher MAC efficiency. To make mac80211
    aggregate MSDUs, low level driver just need to leave skbs
    in the TXQ, and mac80211 will try to aggregate them if
    possible. As driver will schedule a tasklet when the TX
    queue is woke, until the tasklet being served, there will
    have some skbs in the queue if traffic is heavy.
    
    Driver can control the max AMSDU size depending on the
    current bit rate used by hardware/firmware. The higher
    rates are used, the larger AMSDU size can be.
    
    It is tested that can achieve higher T-Put at higher rates.
    If the environment is relatively clean, and the bit_rate
    is high enough, we can get about 80Mbps improvement.
    
    For lower bit rates, not much gain can we get, so leave
    the max_amsdu length low to prevent aggregation.
