Hmm, do you really need to make it configurable?
* works the wl1271 firmware better with this set?
* or better when unset?
* or is it a "depends on" type answer?
As far as I understood you, it works better if the firmware detects the
connection loss and when mac80211 doesn't interfere. If this understanding is
true, then configuring this via nl80211 seems to be the wrong thing. Instead,
you should tell mac80211 about your wishes when registering your driver
against mac80211.
