Subject: [34-longterm 075/260] p54: fix tx feedback status flag check

From: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@...glemail.com>

commit f880c2050f30b23c9b6f80028c09f76e693bf309 upstream.

Michael reported that p54* never really entered power
save mode, even tough it was enabled.

It turned out that upon a power save mode change the
firmware will set a special flag onto the last outgoing
frame tx status (which in this case is almost always the
designated PSM nullfunc frame). This flag confused the
driver; It erroneously reported transmission failures
to the stack, which then generated the next nullfunc.
and so on...
