Regardless of the documentation, I think this is a bit fishy. Why
bother with this to start with?

We once had two patches (that we ultimately gave up on) doing something
similar but simply letting userspace decide. This was centered on
mac80211's beacon loss "link loss detection", but could easily be
generalized a little bit more:

Perhaps with some adjustments such an approach would be workable for
you?
