Please write out "block-ack" or "BACK (block-ack)" :)

Any comments on what these represent? Should they be tunable?

That's unnecessary, you can't get here w/ state != IDLE afaict.

I'm not sure we need to ratelimit debug messages, and I think we should
print out the error code. People who are writing a driver will need to
decipher the number but it's an error they return so I think we should
give them a chance to see which error path was hit.

Do we send this as a reply to anything, ie. should it be rate-limited
too?

small typo

Can we get into that path with ops->ampdu_action == NULL? I'd think not
because state is required to be active... I'd rather stick in a
	BUG_ON(!local->ops->ampdu_action)
because it seems to me that'd be a mac80211 bug.

I think this needs more comments. I can, after a while, see what it
does, but I'm not even sure it's correct. The whole timer_to_id thing is
only for this code?

Missing newline.

Why do you even do a sta_info_get() on the temp_sta's addr? Either you
already have a good pointer or the whole thing will access invalid
memory.
