The bss_info_changed callback and the periodic update triggered by the TBTT or PRETBTT interrupt. Since the next TBTT or PRETBTT interrupt will periodically fetch an updated beacon remove the update_beacon call in the bss_info_changed callback for PCI devices. In the worst case it will take one beacon interval longer to fetch the new beacon then before. For devices that have a PRETBTT interrupt there should be no change at all.
