Please revert ba7273afa2db548ba556d6b2325c36d9c91fad95, titled, "ath5k: honor FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC in STA mode". While this patch reduces interrupt load it will cause sporadic connectivity issues as the STA will no longer receive beacons and at times, when idle or during/after heavy traffic, it may miss the beacon probe response and disconnect from the AP as mac80211 assumes it out of range. In the future we can work on enabling the beacon filter only on certain conditions, like scanning, and use the beacon miss interrupt to trigger probe requests under normal operation as this can help save power but that requires better integration and coordination with mac80211 to make it more aware of these decisions. Right now mac80211 expects beacons so give it beacons.
