Hi,

I was looking through recent commits in wireless-dev and found
e226b8aa8921b6b75dcd0142a990b8c7bc1548fd which is correct, but I was
wondering if it may be possible to do it more efficiently.

We don't really need this code running every second after we init,
having it run every second on average is good enough. I don't see any
way to do this with the delayed work API though since
schedule_delayed_work simply adds the timer at jiffies+delay.

Should we be using a timer and round_jiffies() instead?

Using round_jiffies seems reasonable.  Perhaps the delayed work API
can be extended to use it?

there is round_jiffies_relative() you can use for this kind of purpose....
