at86rf230: add transmit retry support
This patch introduce a transmit retry handling into at86rf230 transmit path. Current behaviour is to wait the normal receive time if we want to go into STATE_TX_ON when the transceiver is in STATE_BUSY_RX_AACK which indicates that a frame is currently receiving. A non force state change will not interrupt the the receiving state. The current behaviour is that after the normal receive time we will start a force change into STATE_TX_ON. With this patch we do seven retries to go into STATE_TX_ON without forcing. After we hit the AT86RF2XX_MAX_TX_RETRIES we will start the force state change. This is a polling like method to go into STATE_TX_ON in times of maximum receiving time. Signed-off-by: Alexander Aring <alex.aring@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
