+ * DOC: Spatial multiplexing power save
+ *
+ * SMPS (Spatial multiplexing power save) is a mechanism to conserve
+ * power in an 802.11n implementation. For details on the mechanism
+ * and rationale, please refer to 802.11 (as amended by 802.11n-2009)
+ * "11.2.3 SM power save".
+ *
+ * The mac80211 implementation is capable of sending action frames
+ * to update the AP about the station's SMPS mode, and will instruct
+ * the driver to enter the specific mode. It will also announce the
+ * requested SMPS mode during the association handshake. Hardware
+ * support for this feature is required, and can be indicated by
+ * hardware flags.
+ *
+ * The default mode will be "automatic", which nl80211/cfg80211
+ * defines to be dynamic SMPS in (regular) powersave, and SMPS
+ * turned off otherwise.
+ *
+ * To support this feature, the driver must set the appropriate
+ * hardware support flags, and handle the SMPS flag to the config()
+ * operation. It will then with this mechanism be instructed to
+ * enter the requested SMPS mode while associated to an HT AP.
