Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Add support for beacon tx mode

User can configure the beacon tx mode while bring-up the
AP via hostapd configuration.

Use the below configuration in the hostapd to configure
the beacon tx mode.

"beacon_tx_mode=N", where N = 0 for STAGGERED beacon mode
and N = 1 for BURST beacon mode.
