Subject: [PATCH 08/20] staging: wfx: do not use built-in AUTO_ERP feature

From: Jérôme Pouiller <jerome.pouiller@...abs.com>

Firmware is able to detect detect changes about ERP protection in
beacons and automatically enable/disable ERP protection. However, it not
bring performance improvements and we are more confident in the ERP
handling of mac80211. So, the patch disable this feature.
