    Subject[PATCH 68/84] ath9k: Disable PowerSave by default
    Date
    3.8.13.3 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

    ------------------

    From: Sujith Manoharan <c_manoha@qca.qualcomm.com>

    commit 531671cb17af07281e6f28c1425f754346e65c41 upstream.

    Almost all the DMA issues which have plagued ath9k (in station mode)
    for years are related to PS. Disabling PS usually "fixes" the user's
    connection stablility. Reports of DMA problems are still trickling in
    and are sitting in the kernel bugzilla. Until the PS code in ath9k is
    given a thorough review, disbale it by default. The slight increase
    in chip power consumption is a small price to pay for improved link
    stability.
