+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: initialize SMPS field in HT capabilities
+
+ibss and mesh modes copy the ht capabilites from the band without
+overriding the SMPS state. Unfortunately the default value 0 for the
+SMPS field means static SMPS instead of disabled.
+
+This results in HT ibss and mesh setups using only single-stream rates,
+even though SMPS is not supposed to be active.
+
+Initialize SMPS to disabled for all bands on ieee80211_hw_register to
+ensure that the value is sane where it is not overriden with the real
+SMPS state.
