Re: iwlwifi: Reason 7 periodic disconnect

Nope. It seems that code doesn't get executed when my issue occurs (or
in my five or ten minutes of uptime). I've seen
`ieee80211_reset_ap_probe` get called by `ieee80211_rx_mgmt_probe_resp`,
but (if I'm not wrong) not on every disconnect.

And as far as I can tell, force_cam is set to true.
