Switch the timer to HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT, which executed the timer
callback in softirq context and remove the hrtimer_tasklet.

I can't build as its part of the whole hrtimer rework series.

I guess you mean you *can* build it? Surely you're introducing the new
HR timer modes in some patch that I didn't see? :-)

+       hrtimer_init(&data->beacon_timer, CLOCK_MONOTONIC,
+                    HRTIMER_MODE_ABS_SOFT);

Sure, though it does not matter in that case. Will fix that up.

Right. Then again, why even pass it to init() and start()? Can you
start without going through start()?
