    mac80211: do not restart ps timer during scan or offchannel · 8c99f691
    Rajkumar Manoharan authored
    While leaving oper channel, STA informs sleep state to AP to
    stop sending data. Till sending ack for the nullfunc, AP
    continues to send the data to STA which restarts ps_timer that
    is causing unnecessary nullfunc exchange on timer expiry
    when the STA was already moved to offchannel. So don't restart ps_timer
    on data reception during scan. This issue was identified by
    the following warning.
