Frame encapsulation from Ethernet into the IEEE 802.11 frame format takes a considerable host CPU time on the xmit path. The firmware is able to do this operation for us, so enable encapsulation offloading for AP and Sta interface types to improve overall system performance. The driver is almost ready for encapsulation offloading support. There are only a few places where the driver assumes the frame format is IEEE 802.11 that need to be fixed. Encapsulation offloading is currently disabled by default and the driver utilizes mac80211 encapsulation support. To activate offloading, the frame_mode=2 parameter should be passed during module loading. On a QCA9563+QCA9888-based access point in bridged mode, encapsulation offloading increases TCP 16-streams DL throughput from 365 to 396 mbps (+8%) and UDP DL throughput from 436 to 483 mbps (+11%).
