This patch is necessary in order to provide a proper Access point support for p54.
Unfortunatly for us, there is no documented way to disable the interfering
power save buffering mechanism in firmware completely.
Therefore we give in and notify the driver through our new sta_notify callback,
so that we can update the filter state.
