Using ieee802154_subif_start_xmit() to bypass the net queue when
sending beacons is broken because it does not acquire the
HARD_TX_LOCK(), hence not preventing datagram buffers to be smashed by
beacons upon contention situation. Using the mlme_tx helper is not the
best fit either but at least it is not buggy and has little-to-no
performance hit. More details are given in the comment explaining this
choice in the code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
