Subject: [PATCH] wcn36xx: handle connection loss indication

Firmware sends delete_sta_context_ind when it detects the AP has gone
away in STA mode. Right now the handler for that indication only handles
AP mode; fix it to also handle STA mode.

I think it's good to have but does it really fix the link monitoring issue?
Is the connection loss detected in this scenario:
- Connect to AP
- Force active mode (iw wlan0 set power_save off)
- Wait for no data activity
- HW shutdown the AP (AP leave)

Do you get any indication?

In this scenario, DB410C (wcn3620) does not report anything.

Regards,
Loic

I do this on wcn3680b and get no loss of signal

If I do this though

Thanks for the investigation!

As discussed offline, I will send v2 with Fixes: removed, and Bryan will test and submit a separate patch to add the additional feat_caps for the power_save off case.

Depending on DB410c testing, these feat_caps may need to be gated for WCN3680 only, in which case Loic's patch to re-enable CONNECTION_MONITOR (but gated for WCN3660/3620) would still be needed.
