This seems to be the same problem that Ben had and debugged by himself
[1].  Fixing this in hostapd/wpa_supplicant seems more appropriate?

This patch seems to take an advantage of some sort of hack in the
firmware that will change the priority by itself when the
TX_HW_ATTR_EAPOL_GRAME bit is set.  If we have a good reason to use this
patch, we need to take care of the firmware version as well.  This
probably doesn't work with the latest published firmware.
