From: Jérôme Pouiller <jerome.pouiller@xxxxxxxxxx>
Chip firmware is able to send periodic null frames to keep the
association with the AP.
The driver arbitrary set this period to 30sec. We prefer to rely on
BSS_CHANGED_KEEP_ALIVE that provide a true value.
Note that if BSS_CHANGED_KEEP_ALIVE is not received, we just disable
keep_alive feature. It is not very disturbing since AP will probably
ping the station before to disconnect it.
