I've checked, and both mt76 and ath11k/ath12k drivers supports a BA update (but none of them supports the timeout though) through `IEEE80211_AMPDU_RX_START`. mt76 stop the session before starting one new (function `mt76_rx_aggr_start`) and ath11k/ath12k checks if a session is active to either modify it or create a new one (function `ath12k_dp_rx_peer_tid_setup`).we want the driver to decide if it wants to support timeout update ?Not really, there's no driver that _can_ to support it now, and it seems
unlikely any driver would _want_ to support it.
And if so it should probably not be IEEE80211_AMPDU_RX_START but rather
some new IEEE80211_AMPDU_RX_UPDATE thing. But I don't think any driver
would implement it, I don't see why anyone would want to, this flow is
in the spec but never really used.
