Why do you think this requires a vendor command? I mean, that seems like
fairly reasonable - even by default - behaviour? And if not done by
default, it could possibly even be configured via the normal powersave
mode/command we already have in nl80211, or by a new normal one?

Why does it even require an nl80211 setting, seems like something you'd
really only want to turn off for debugging (e.g. via debugfs)?
