Subject: carl9170: A-MPDU frame type filter
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8f236d1bef659ca69c912536a69b3031e5ba3269;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

carl9170: A-MPDU frame type filter

In the past, carl9170 has been plagued by mysterious
ghosts.

e.g.:
 wlan4: deauthenticated from 02:04:d8:3c:ac:c1 (Reason: 0)

Apparently, the AP sent us a bogus deauthentication
notification. But upon closer inspection the
"management frame" turned out to be a corrupted
scrap of an unsuccessful A-MPDU.
