4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit d98937f4ea713d21e0fcc345919f86c877dd8d6f ] iwlwifi now supports RSS and can't let mac80211 track the PS state based on the Rx frames since they can come out of order. iwlwifi is now advertising AP_LINK_PS, and uses explicit notifications to teach mac80211 about the PS state of the stations and the PS poll / uAPSD trigger frames coming our way from the peers. Because of that, the TIM stopped being maintained in mac80211. I tried to fix this in commit c68df2e7be0c ("mac80211: allow using AP_LINK_PS with mac80211-generated TIM IE") but that was later reverted by Felix in commit 6c18a6b4e799 ("Revert "mac80211: allow using AP_LINK_PS with mac80211-generated TIM IE") since it broke drivers that do not implement set_tim. Since none of the drivers that set AP_LINK_PS have the set_tim() handler set besides iwlwifi, I can bail out in __sta_info_recalc_tim if AP_LINK_PS AND .set_tim is not implemented.
