Emmanuel Grumbach 0b9832b712 iwlwifi: mvm: don't use transmit queue hang detection when it is not possible
When we act as an AP, new firmware versions handle
internally the power saving clients and the driver doesn't
know that the peers went to sleep. It is, hence, possible
that a peer goes to sleep for a long time and stop pulling
frames. This will cause its transmit queue to hang which is
a condition that triggers the recovery flow in the driver.

While this client is certainly buggy (it should have pulled
the frame based on the TIM IE in the beacon), we can't blow
up because of a buggy client.

Change the current implementation to not enable the
transmit queue hang detection on queues that serve peers
when we act as an AP / GO.

We can still enable this mechanism using the debug
configuration which can come in handy when we want to
debug why the client doesn't wake up.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
