The issue is similar to the other patch I posted for ath9k. As there
is a power save state mismatch, AP continues to send the data traffic
whereas the station might be in sleep mode. I see a IxChariot
disconnect issue while testing continuous Rx UDP traffic. I will add
these details in the next version after the review of these two PS
related patches.
