iwlwifi now supports RSS and can't let mac80211 track the PS state based on the Rx frames since they can come out of order. iwlwifi is now advertising AP_LINK_PS, and uses explicit notifications to teach mac80211 about the PS state of the stations and the PS poll / uAPSD trigger frames coming our way from the peers. Because of that, the TIM stopped being maintained in mac80211. I tried to fix this in commitlynxis/untested/v4.19.128c68df2e7be
("mac80211: allow using AP_LINK_PS with mac80211-generated TIM IE") but that was later reverted by Felix in commit6c18a6b4e7
("Revert "mac80211: allow using AP_LINK_PS with mac80211-generated TIM IE") since it broke drivers that do not implement set_tim. Since none of the drivers that set AP_LINK_PS have the set_tim() handler set besides iwlwifi, I can bail out in __sta_info_recalc_tim if AP_LINK_PS AND .set_tim is not implemented.
