Right, sorry -- but here it _only_ depends on "support_sm_ps", whereas

Here it also depends on current_ht_config.sm_ps, which is not very
useful. Using the AP setting is wrong, and above, assuming
"support_sm_ps" [1] is true, this should just always fall into the
dynamic case so the value "current_ht_config.sm_ps" isn't useful and can
imho be removed.

[1] which btw I'd have called "use_sm_ps" since all hardware supports it
afaik
