[0/1] wcn36xx: Revert firmware link monitoring

Message

We can get this working with

- Secure APs PS on/off
- Open APs PS on

by setting firmware feature bit WLANACTIVE_OFFLOAD 

Open APs PS off though is non-functional even with the above bit enabled
and three quaters of a wheel is useless.

So unfortunately for now zap it off.

Avoid using acronyms as much as possible, PS meaning power save might
not be clear for everyone.

And please try to be more specific, I'm not sure what power save feature
you are meaning here. (802.11 protocol power save, BMPS or what?)

Yep - the issue is on an Open AP when we enter BMPS link monitoring 
stops working.

I'll make that clear in a resend
