0229cdafb6 iwlwifi: mvm: delay enabling smart FIFO until after beacon RX
If we have no beacon data before association, delay smart FIFO
enablement until after we have this data.

Not doing so can cause association failures in extremely silent
environments (usually only a shielded box/room) as beacon RX is
not sent to the host immediately, and then the association time
event ends without the host receiving any beacon even though it
was on the air - it's just stuck on the FIFO.

1f3b0ff8ec iwlwifi: mvm: Add Smart FIFO support
Send firmware a Smart FIFO Configuration host command to allow
interrupt coalescing. The smart FIFO is enabled when there is
only one bound interface (other than  p2p devices which are
ignored) and it is of type station, and activated while the
station is associated.

Smart Fifo allows aggragations of DMA transactions and by that
causes processor and memory controller to stay for a longer time
on lower c-states, thus saving platform power.
Firmware relies on driver to activate and disable it.
