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.
Hi.
I tried to see if this patch solves the ping delay once power save is
turned on and it appears it doesn't (log below).
I do see some change in the delay though in comparison to testing without the patch.
Bjorn, How did you test it ?

Thanks, Ramon.
