    mac80211_hwsim: Add support for client PS mode · fc6971d4
    Jouni Malinen authored
    This introduces a debugfs file (ieee80211/phy#/hwsim/ps) that can be
    used to force a simulated radio into power save mode. Following values
    can be written into this file to change PS mode:
    0 = power save disabled (constantly awake)
    1 = power save enabled (drop all frames; do not send PS-Poll)
    2 = power save enabled (send PS-Poll frames automatically to receive
        buffered unicast frames); not yet fully implemented
    3 = manual PS-Poll trigger (send a single PS-Poll frame)
    
    Two different behavior for power save mode processing can be tested:
    - move between modes 1 and 0 (i.e., receive all buffered frames at a
      time)
    - move to mode 1 and use manual PS-Poll frames (write 3 to the 'ps'
      debugfs file) to fetch power save buffered frames one at a time
    
    Mode 2 (automatic PS-Poll) does not yet parse Beacon frames, but
    eventually, it should take a look at TIM IE and send PS-Poll if a
    traffic bit is set for our AID.
