We have a tkip_mixing_phase2() function in net/mac80211/tkip.c. That's
probably the better thing.

Mk16_le() is a bad function name and as we can see from tkip.c it just
duplicates get_unaligned_le16(). Better to make TK void pointer instead
of a u8 pointer (because it doesn't point to u8s so we have to cast it
every time we use it). This is another trick I learned from tkip.c.
