reason=4 is WLAN_REASON_DISASSOC_DUE_TO_INACTIVITY. I'd expect the most
likely source of this to be one of the mac80211 code paths in mlme.c
where disconnection is triggered if the current AP become unreachable.
Getting a debug log from mac80211 might help in figuring out what is
causing this (there seem to be number of mlme_dbg() calls before most,
but not necessarily all, places where
WLAN_REASON_DISASSOC_DUE_TO_INACTIVITY is used).
