maintained and instead relies on the Libertas core to synchronize access
to the command and data ports as with the other interface drivers.  This

performance by removing the need to copy to these internal buffers.
This also simplifies the bottom half of the interrupt handler.

This is an incremental cleanup: after removing the redundant buffers, we
can further improve the driver to use a threaded IRQ handler instead of
maintaining its own thread.  However I would like a few folks to test
the buffer removal first and make sure that I'm not introducing

with the ath9k_hw_decrease_chain_power() but first -- this was being

mac80211: fix dynamic power save for devices with nullfunc support in hw

In TX path it was assumed that dynamic power save works only if
IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK is set. But is not the case, there are
devices which have nullfunc support in hardware but need mac80211
to handle dynamic power save timers, TI's wl1251 is one of them.

The fix is to not check for IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK in
is_dynamic_ps_enabled(), instead check IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flags and act accordingly.

Tested with wl1251.
