wl1271: Work around AP's with broken ps-poll functionality
Some AP's (such as Zyxel Prestige 600) have totally broken ps-poll
functionality. When powersave is enabled, these AP's will set the TIM bit for
a STA in beacons, but when the STA responds with a ps-poll, the AP does not
respond with data.
The wl1271 firmware is able to send an indication to the host, when this
problem occurs. This patch adds implementation, which temporarily disables
power-save in response to this indication, allowing the AP to transmit whatever
data it has buffered for the STA / whatever data is inbound at that time.
This patch does not make these AP's work reliably in PSM, but improves the
chances of inbound data getting through.
The side effect of this patch is increased power consumption when using a
faulty AP.
