X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e15276a4b220c54db665cf46a92bd9ceb9aeb052;p=linux-beck.git mac80211: Reset dynamic ps timer in Rx path. The current mac80211 implementation enables power save if there is no Tx traffic for a specific timeout. Hence, PS is triggered even if there is a continuous Rx only traffic(like UDP) going on. This makes the drivers to wait on the tim bit in the next beacon to awake which leads to redundant sleep-wake cycles. Fix this by restarting the dynamic ps timer on receiving every data packet.
