Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: HE STA disassoc due to QOS NULL not sent
Git-commit: f39b07fdfb688724fedabf5507e15eaf398f2500
Patch-mainline: v5.4-rc1
References: jsc#SLE-13430
In case of HE AP-STA link, ieee80211_send_nullfunc() will not
send the QOS NULL packet to check if AP is still associated.
In this case, probe_send_count will be non-zero and
ieee80211_sta_work() will later disassociate the AP, even
though no packet was ever sent.
Fix this by decrementing probe_send_count and not calling
ieee80211_send_nullfunc() in case of HE link, so that we
still wait for some time for the AP beacon to reappear and
don't disconnect right away.
