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.

During startup I get the error print from wcn36xx_pmc_exit_bmps_state()
that we're not in BMPS state. There's no harm in this, but the error
might concern people.

How about we in addition to this, change the wcn36xx_err() to a
wcn36xx_dbg(PMC...) ?
