3.11.10.5 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Sujith Manoharan <[email protected]> commit 8298383c2cd5a6d0639f1bb1781fba181bd20154 upstream. Even though we make sure PowerSave is not enabled by default by disabling the flag, WIPHY_FLAG_PS_ON_BY_DEFAULT on init, PS could be enabled by userspace based on various factors like battery usage etc. Since PS in ath9k is just broken and has been untested for years, remove support for it, but allow a user to explicitly enable it using a module parameter.
