The LPS threshold was set to 2, means driver will leave LPS
mode if there is more than 2 frames TX/RX for every 2 seconds.
This makes driver enter/leave LPS frequently even if we just
"ping -i1" to the others.
Apparently we do not want to leave LPS mode if there is only
some background traffics or web surfing. By experiment, set
this to 50 is a more reasonable value to lower the over all
power consumption.

v1 -> v2
* this was originally ("https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11211881/")
* but seems module parameter is not a good idea here, just change
the default value to 50 for a general solution

Patch applied to wireless-drivers-next.git, thanks.
