Emmanuel Grumbach 9fef654433 mac80211: always update the PM state of a peer on MGMT / DATA frames
The 2016 version of the spec is more generic about when the
AP should update the power management state of the peer:
the AP shall update the state based on any management or
data frames. This means that even non-bufferable management
frames should be looked at to update to maintain the power
management state of the peer.

This can avoid problematic cases for example if a station
disappears while being asleep and then re-appears. The AP
would remember it as in power save, but the Authentication
frame couldn't be used to set the peer as awake again.
Note that this issues wasn't really critical since at some
point (after the association) we would have removed the
station and created another one with all the states cleared.

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.
