From: Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
In some cases, one might wish to have more retries before giving up
on auth. For instance, ath10k 9984 radios take about 270ms to
(re)calibrate when moving channels, and auth will not go out during
that calibration period. I think that might be part of the issue
I see with roaming stations on that radio.
