Re: [PATCH] mac80211: Fix sw connection monitor and sw scan when STA is connected HE

Hi mac80211 team,

We are working on Realtek 11ax driver, rtw89, not being merged yet.
This driver uses software connection monitor and software scan, like
our 11ac driver rtw88,
but we found these two functions don't work properly due to mac80211
doesn't send
null data frame when STA is connected HE.

We search for the reason why it can't send null frame, but we don't
get the answer.
Possibly, it is because existing HE hardware supports hardware
connection monitor
and scan, or supports TWT to avoid sending null data frame to tell AP
its PS mode.
Could anyone enlighten me the reason?

It was just a workaround for an iwlwifi specific issue that got left in.
I just merged a patch from Felix to resolve that.
