+Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: improve powersave filter handling
+
+For non-aggregated frames, ath9k was leaving handling of powersave
+filtered packets to mac80211. This can be too slow if the intermediate
+queue is already filled with packets and mac80211 does not immediately
+send a new packet via drv_tx().
+
+Improve response time with filtered frames by triggering clearing the
+powersave filter internally.
