[PATCH 3.16 190/233] mac80211: don't look at the PM bit of BAR frames

[Ben Hutchings]

3.16.48-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 769dc04db3ed8484798aceb015b94deacc2ba557 upstream.

When a peer sends a BAR frame with PM bit clear, we should
not modify its PM state as madated by the spec in
802.11-20012 10.2.1.2.
