I think this patch should be ported back to stable kernels, 3.10+.
In my machine, I will lost wifi connection after minutes if I enable
fwlps.

NACK
This patch is correct. There is a logic error in entering/exiting power-save
mode. Thus the code part is OK; however, the subject and commit message need to
be improved. If I had prepared this patch, my subject would have been "rtlwifi:
Fix logic error in enter/exit power-save mode". For the commit message, I would
have used the following:
In commit fd09ff958777 ("rtlwifi: Remove extra workqueue for enter/leave power
state"), the tests for enter/exit power-save mode were inverted. With this
change applied, the wifi connection becomes much more stable.

state")
