Bug Description

With kernel version 4.10+ I'm unable to establish WiFi connection.
Router shows logs:
Association Success:STA **:*:**:**:**:**
4-way handshake success:STA **:*:**:**:**:**
Received Deauth:STA **:*:**:**:**:**(reason 3)

It works well with "rtlwifi_new" drivers or newer mainline kernels (4.17 & 4.18-rc3 work; 4.16 don't) so probably something could be backported from there. Any power-management or ant_sel driver options didn't help me. Closest things I managed to find were https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10196339/ (rtl8821ae keep alive not set, connection lostlogin) and commit from "rtlwifi_new" repo ("rtl8723be: Add L1 latency to rtl8723be" - https://github.com/lwfinger/rtlwifi_new/commit/196972510a4d4280b6773398f7f43609c66f8c35 ) but first is already in 4.15 & second didn't help me so that must be something else...
