    mac80211: Fix ps-qos network latency handling · ff616381
    Juuso Oikarinen authored
    The ps-qos latency handling is broken. It uses predetermined latency values
    to select specific dynamic PS timeouts. With common AP configurations, these
    values overlap with beacon interval and are therefore essentially useless
    (for network latencies less than the beacon interval, PSM is disabled.)
    
    This patch remedies the problem by replacing the predetermined network latency
    values with one high value (1900ms) which is used to go trigger full psm. For
    backwards compatibility, the value 2000ms is still mapped to a dynamic ps
    timeout of 100ms.
    
    Currently also the mac80211 internal value for storing user space configured
    dynamic PSM values is incorrectly in the driver visible ieee80211_conf struct.
    Move it to the ieee80211_local struct.
