Re: [PATCH v2] wl12xx: support FW TX inactivity triggers

Hey John,

Looking at the latest git, it seems you've picked up this patch
(commit 47684808fd89d6809c0886e06f8ac324252499d8).
This is unfortunate, since there's currently a FW bug that will cause
many disconnections in STA mode with this patch.

How would we go about reverting this?

Thanks,
Arik
