mac80211: Add support for BSS max idle period element
Parse the BSS max idle period element and set the BSS configuration accordingly so the driver can use this information to configure the max idle period and to use protected management frames for keep alive when required. The BSS max idle period element is defined in IEEE802.11-2016, section 9.4.2.79 Signed-off-by: Avraham Stern <avraham.stern@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Luca Coelho <luciano.coelho@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
