Suppose one is doing heavy download (AP -> peer traffic), and there are lots of 
frames in the
NIC's tx buffers (ath10k firmware, in this case).

Then, peer sends a power-save pkt telling AP it is going off-channel or 
otherwise
will be unavailable.

What is the appropriate behaviour from the AP?  Can the firmware just drop all 
those tx frames to
make room to handle other stations?  Maybe report ACK failure and hope the 
upper level stacks
retransmit as appropriate?

Or, is the host supposed to flush the peer's packets to clear out the frames?

Or, is firmware somehow supposed to keep all the frames for when the peer comes 
back?

Thanks,
Ben
