Re: [PATCH 21/31] wl1271: prevent power save entry while not associated

Hi,

Unfortunately I haven't had the time to investigate this further, but
for me it did happen after getting de-authenticated from an AP and
attempting to re-authenticate. While re-authenticating, mac80211
appeared to request going into power save after transmitting the
corresponding control messages, preventing the re-authentication from
succeeding.

My assumption is, that the dynamic power save mechanism is somehow
getting triggered from the control message exchange - but, as I said, I
cannot be sure at this point.
