+ * In this case, the device can ask mac80211 to send a

+ * let mac80211 know that there are no buffered frames any
+ * more, otherwise mac80211 will get the more_data bit wrong.
+ * The low level driver must have made sure that the frame
+ * will be sent despite the station being in power-save.
+ * Mac80211 won't call allow_buffered_frames().
+ * Note that calling this function, doesn't exempt the driver
+ * from closing the EOSP properly, it will still have to call
+ * ieee80211_sta_eosp when the NDP is sent.
