Obviously, the value of wvif->state as no reason to be wrong. At least,
if it the case, dropping the frame is probably not the bast thing to do.

mac80211 and the device are both able to control power-save per vif.
But, the current code retrieve power-save from wfx_config(). So, it does
not allow to setup power-save independently for each vif. Driver just
has to rely on wfx_bss_info_changed() instead of wfx_config().

It is not necessary to keep a copy of dtim_period in wfx_vif. Prefer to
just rely on bss_conf->dtim_period.

wfx_tx_confirm_cb() retrieves the station associated with a frame using
the MAC address from the 802.11 header. In the other side wfx_tx()
retrieves the station using sta field from the ieee80211_tx_control
argument.
In wfx_cqm_bssloss_sm(), wfx_tx() was called directly wi

When multiple vif are in use (the only supported configuration is one
station and one AP), the driver force power save flag on station.
This behavior allows the station to leave the station channel and make
its business on AP channel.
However, this has a big impact on stati

Argument provided to wfx_set_tim_impl() is always wvif->aid0_bit_set and
there is no reason to provide another argument.
Also rename wfx_set_tim_impl() into wfx_update_tim() to reflect the new
behavior.

Since enum action has now only two cases, it can be dropped. Then
hif_handle_tx_data() can be simplified.

The "link-id" is a slot number provided to the chip. A link-id is
allocated to every station associated with the chip (mainly when the
chip is in AP mode). It is more or less the same thing than the
association ID, but it is limited to 14 values.
Firmware uses the link-id t

wfx_bss_info_changed() is not called from atomic contexts. So, it is not
necessary to raise an asynchronous work to change ERP. Thus
wfx_set_cts_work() become useless.

In current code, packet_id is derivated from mac802.11 packet sequence
number, but this number is only unique for a station. It is not
sufficient.

In fact, wfx_upload_beacon() uploads beacon and probe response. So,
rename it in wfx_upload_ap_templates().
The call to wfx_fwd_probe_req() has nothing to do with template
uploading, so relocate it.

The structure hif_req_start come from hardware API. It is not intended
to be manipulated in upper layers of the driver.
In add, current code for hif_start() is too dumb. It should pack data
with hardware representation instead of leaving all work to the caller.
