[PATCH 00/32] staging: wfx: rework the Tx queue

[Jerome Pouiller <Jerome.Pouiller@silabs.com>]

From: Jérôme Pouiller <jerome.pouiller@silabs.com>

This current implementation of the Tx queue is far more complex than
necessary and its behavior is dubious on some corner cases. This series
rework the Tx queue:
  - Simplify support for QoS (since device already do the job)
  - Simplify support for Power Saving stations (since mac80211 already
    do the job)
  - Improve support of Content After DTIM Beacon (CAB) when device is
    AP and some station use power save.
  - Improve robustness of flushing
