From: Loic Poulain loic.poulain@linaro.org

[ Upstream commit 0856655a25476d4431005e39d606e349050066b0 ]

Since driver does not report hardware dynamic power saving cap, this is up to the mac80211 to manage power saving timeout and state machine, using the ieee80211 config callback to report PS changes. This patch enables/disables PS mode according to the new configuration.

Remove old behaviour enabling PS mode in a static way, this make the device unusable when power save is enabled since device is forced to PS regardless RX/TX traffic.
