Enables auto deep sleep whenever the interface is up and
power managament is enabled, so there is also power management
when there is no connection
That reduces power consumption between scanning
intervals. Deep sleep mode is entered when there is
no activity for 1s.

The code looks a bit different to how things were done
with the wext interface in earlier times.

Please use just "libertas: " as the prefix and drop the "wireless:".

Hmm, is there any rule for that or do I just find that out
by analysing git log output?

BTW: That patch depends on my ieee80211 powersave mode series where I sent
a second version today. Has that series found the way into your review queue?

No generic rule as far as I know. I recommend to use git log to see the
most common prefix:

git log --oneline --follow --no-merges -- drivers/net/wireless/libertas

It's a good idea to document that in the patch, for example after "---"
line.

You can check the status from patchwork:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/list/?state=*

I haven't opened wireless-drivers-next yet due to the merge window, I
will do that after -rc1 is released.
