I have a variant of the ath10k 10.1 firmware that puts all frames, including management,
over the normal htt packet transport. This has worked fine for many kernels, but
for reasons that currently escape me, the patch below breaks this firmware.
On air, I see corrupted probe responses, seems the end of the frames are corrupted.
This only breaks AP mode (station mode works fine).
There may be some other similar breakage somewhere, since git bisect could not find this
error and I had to bisect it by hand.
If someone has any idea of why this patch might trigger it, please let me know.
I'll keep digging in the meantime...
