Bug Description

SRU Justification
-----------------

Impact:
-------
  firmware assert upon assoc timeout

Test Case:
----------
1) Bring up the Redpine Module in Coex mode 13.
2) Try to do roaming between two AP's.
3) At some point, When Association timeout happens and station tries to scan and
   observed below firmware assert.
   wlan0: authenticate with ac:a3:1e:a1:1e:85
   wlan0: send auth to ac:a3:1e:a1:1e:85 (try 1/3)
   wlan0: authenticated
   wlan0: associate with ac:a3:1e:a1:1e:85 (try 1/3)
   wlan0: associate with ac:a3:1e:a1:1e:85 (try 2/3)
   wlan0: associate with ac:a3:1e:a1:1e:85 (try 3/3)
   wlan0: association with ac:a3:1e:a1:1e:85 timed out
   ven_rsi_91x: rsi_disable_ps: Cannot accept disable PS in PS_NONE state
   ven_rsi_91x: rsi_interrupt_handler: ==> FIRMWARE Assert <==
   ven_rsi_91x: rsi_interrupt_handler: Firmware Status is 0xa
   IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready

RCA:
----
   Root cause: When association starts, driver is sending station add peer
   notify to firmware but when Association timeout happens, driver is not
   sending station peer delete to Firmware. Hence, FW is going into DEEP SLEEP
   in associated state, which is incorrect.

Fix:
----
   Sending station delete peer notify when assoc timeout happens.

Regression potential:
---------------------
   Ran roaming between two AP's for 20 hours and didn't see the issue.

   This bug is for tracking purposes only, please don't triage.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-done-xenial'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-failed-xenial'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
