Thanks, Stephen

That resolution matches the text I've prepared for my upcoming pull request:

Note to maintainers:

There is a trivial conflict between two patches:

In ath/ath-current:
9222582ec524 ("Revert "wifi: ath12k: Fix missing station power save configuration"")

In ath/ath-next:
6917e268c433 ("wifi: ath12k: Defer vdev bring-up until CSA finalize to avoid stale beacon")

The resolution is to take both hunks, ordering them in reverse xmas tree style.
