Driver used to kick off every TX packets, that will waste some time while we can do better to kick off the TX packets once after they are all prepared to be transmitted. For PCI, it uses DMA engine to transfer the SKBs to the device, and the transition of the state of the DMA engine could be a cost. Driver can save some time to kick off multiple SKBs once so that the DMA engine will have only one transition. So, split rtw_hci_ops::tx() to rtw_hci_ops::tx_write() and rtw_hci_ops::tx_kick_off() to explicitly kick the SKBs off after they are written to the prepared buffer. For packets come from ieee80211_ops::tx(), write one and then kick it off immediately. For packets queued in TX queue, which come from ieee80211_ops::wake_tx_queue(), we can dequeue them, write them to the buffer, and then kick them off together.

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.
