When a station go to sleep, the driver receive the status REQUEUE and
forward this answer to mac80211. So, neither the driver, neither the
hardware buffer the frames. So the call to ieee80211_sta_set_buffered is
useless.
In add, it seems that mac80211 does not expect to receive
ieee80211_sta_set_buffered(false) after the station is asleep(). When
the device send data to a station, the following sequence can be
observed:
- Mac80211 call wfx_sta_notify(awake).
- The driver calls ieee80211_sta_set_buffered(true). Since the
station is awake, its TIM is not set.
- Mac80211 receive a power save notification from the station, so it
calls wfx_sta_notify(asleep).
- Then, since the driver has declared it has buffered some frames,
the TIM of the station should be set. This action is delayed by
mac80211.
- The device also notice the station go to sleep. It replies the
REQUEUE status for the buffered frames. The driver forward this
status to mac80211.
- There is no more frames in queues, so the driver call
ieee80211_sta_set_buffered(false).
- Mac80211 updates the TIM but since there is no frames buffered by
the driver, it set the TIM for the station to 0.
Anyway, correctly use the ieee80211_sta_set_buffered() API solves the
problem.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
