At the mean time dynamic_ps_timer can be expired due to not receiving packet from upper layer which could restart the transmission at the end of ps work. Due to the mismatch with driver state, mac80211 is unneccesarity buffering all the frames till the driver wakes up the queue. Check whether there is no transmit or the tx queues were stopped by some reasons. If any of the queue was stopped, the postpond ps timer and do not restart netif_tx.
