Hi,

I stumbled over this while looking into something completely different,
according to:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172411

As this point in time it is better to not enable
CONFIG_IWLWIFI_PCIE_RTPM, as it cause wifi disconnects
on some platforms.
There's no indication in the code that it's broken or unsafe to
enable.  Seems like a patch making it depend on config BROKEN or
config EXPERT or at least some kind of warning in the help text is
warranted.

It's pretty clear from comment 7 in that upstream report that upstream does not deem it safe to have this option enabled at this point...

" It's safer to keep it disabled for now. We'll let you know when setting this option actually becomes beneficial for general platforms."
