    mac80211: Revert adding SM Power Save capability to hostapd configuration · a0cc6803
    John Crispin authored
    
    Part of rev 44173 added setting the SM Power Save capability in the hostapd.conf
    file if the driver indicated that it was supported. It appears this was
    incorrect, because the field in the actual HT Capabilities field in the AP
    configuration is really a state indication. Just copying the state from the
    capability resulted in the AP indicating that it had SMPS enabled all the time
    if it supported SMPS. This effectively just disables all clients from sending
    packets to the AP with more than one spatial stream, for no good reason.
    So remove this part of the change.
