Hmm. I thought we said that it was supposed to be removed again by the
hardware before TX status reporting. That's what most drivers seem to do
anyway.

I'm considering turning off this transmit status reporting for now but
that will make hostapd not work.

Actually, it seems to be outside of mac80211, I put in a WARN_ON() and
got this:
