Description
I use the driver MT76x0u first, and I want to enable the power save manually, so I command in Linux: iw dev wlan0 set power_save on. But the return error: -95.
Then where should I enable the IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS？ Should I do other operations to realize it?

Research direction
Start by tracing the MT76x0u driver’s handling of the Linux iw dev wlan0 set power_save on request and where IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS is configured. Check the mac80211 power-save requirements and existing MT76x0u support. Done means the command succeeds and power saving operates correctly, with validation covering the reported -95 error.
