From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@xxxxxxxxx>
This patch makes mac80211 able to send action frames when toggling
(SM PS) Spacial Multiplexing Power Save mode.
Examples:
1.
A driver in order to lower power consumption may choose to close some of RX chains
in PS mode and needs to announce to AP that a RTS frame is need in order to wake all
RX chains (SM_PS_DYNAMIC), on other hand SM PS can be disabled in CAM mode or if HW is able
to wake all chains without RTS frame and thus reducing traffic overhead.
2.
iwlwifi can call this function when it detects that only
one antenna can effectively receive then SM PS mode is set to STATIC and
AP is asked not to send MIMO rates packets at all.
