Enable wifi powersaving by default again #90

Closed jonas2515 closed 3 years ago

jonas2515 commented 3 years ago

The wifi firmware crashes are now fixed, so let's try reenabling wifi powersaving again, it's really important for power consumption and we should really try keeping it enabled.

Since @kitakar5525 mentioned in https://github.com/linux-surface/kernel/pull/70#issuecomment-726087363 that this causes connection issues on the SB1 and S3, I'd prefer if we could test this MR at least on one of those two devices before merging.

I'm not sure if it can handle it actually, I'll just update this branch again after #70 is merged.

Command-line merge worked without problems, I think GitHub should indicate any issues once #70 is merged, so we'll see then.

This should go in together with https://github.com/linux-surface/kernel/pull/91, which makes waking up the firmware from powersaving states more reliable.
