Those are "older devices" as per powersave Enable 802.11 power saving mode. This option is generally only relevant to older devices where power saving is disabled by default. On modern hardware, drivers will ask the firmware to automatically enable any applicable power-saving features. I think some of the older ones were a bit unsure whether it works properly on all devices (so allowing it to be disabled) but it should be ok on newer ones..
