Even if the wlcore sysfs interface fell through the cracks it's no
excuse to add more private interfaces to wireless drivers. We have
cfg80211 and all generic interfaces, like btcoex control, should go
through that subsystem. That way all drivers can share a common
interface and everyone are happy.

What I suggest is that you add this yourself to cfg80211 and mac80211.
It's not that hard and I think you could use NL80211_CMD_SET_POWER_SAVE
as an example.
