How to set up Mikrotik and Wi-Fi power saving?

Mikrotik RB951G-2HnD
Logs are strewn with messages:
==
wireless,info - Data from unknown device xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, sent deauth
==
Appear several times a minute, then the same device connects, then disconnects.
There are several devices, both iOS and Android, apparently - this is a power saving mode when using Wi-Fi on smartphones. If you turn it off in your smartphone, then there is no such thing. Plus, the batteries of smartphones are discharged 3-4 times faster if they are connected to a WLAN from Mikrotik.
I put the old DLink next to it, connected the devices to it - everything works fine.
On the Internet, on the Mikrotik forums, people also encountered this, but there are no solutions there.
Maybe someone here has already been able to solve this problem (without using additional routers)?

Actually, the question was raised here:
forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=68782
As I understand it, WMM powersaving has not yet been implemented, and devices wake up from these "garbage" packages that cannot be turned off.
My workaround is RT-N16 as AP, wifi is disabled on mikrotik... But it's inconvenient.
If you still have support - contact directly, I wonder what they will answer.

Have you updated the firmware to the latest? Did you contact support?
