Subject: [PATCH 3.13 049/187] iwlwifi: mvm: Add a missed beacons threshold

3.13.11.7 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ilan Peer <ilan.peer@...el.com>

commit 12d423e816c69b0b4457bc047dda9a0a1c1a53c1 upstream.

Instead of always calling ieee80211_beacon_loss() on every missed
beacons notification, call this function only if the number of
consecutive missed beacons from last rx is higher than a predefined
threshold.
