Description

net80211: add support for drivers to disable sending NULL data frames

net80211 has various places where null data / null qos data frames
are sent. However plenty of NICs shouldn't be sending them from
net80211 and it may even upset their 802.11n window / sequence number
tracking.

So add support here.
