I changed the way mac80211 updates the PM state of the peer.
I forgot that we could also have multicast frames from the
peer and that those frame should of course not change the
PM state of the peer: A peer goes to power save when it
needs to scan, but it won't send the broadcast Probe Request
with the PM bit set.
This made us mark the peer as awake when it wasn't and then
Intel's firmware would fail to transmit because the peer is
asleep according to its database. The driver warned about
this and it looked like this:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 184 at /usr/src/linux-4.16.14/drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/tx.c:1369 iwl_mvm_rx_tx_cmd+0x53b/0x860

The relevant code that spits the WARNING is:

README
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
