+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: only accumulate airtime deficit for active
+ clients
+
+When a client does not generate any local tx activity, accumulating airtime
+deficit for the round-robin scheduler can be harmful. If this goes on for too
+long, the deficit could grow quite large, which might cause unreasonable
+initial latency once the client becomes active
