So as you can see by my own version of this patch, I'm not super happy
with the way you did things here :)

I'm happy with your version, so lets just drop mine.

Instead of adding 4 new arguments, (ta, ra, is_4addr, is_tdls_data), I
opted to just add two (check_da and check_sa) and make those NULL when
no checks are desired.

I *think* that works equivalently, but it'd be great if you could take
a look.

The rules when to check sa/da should be independent of the driver and thus would likely be duplicated by each caller.
This is why I had it in ieee80211_amsdu_to_8023s.

My patch defaulted into not checking sa/da for interface type not explicitly given, whereas your code defaults to checking both for those. This makes a difference for IFTYPE_MONITOR, IFTYPE_P2P_*, IFTYPE_OCB, IFTYPE_UNSPECIFIED, IFTYPE_WDS. I don't know if filtering is appropiate for those or if they can actually occur there.

This also conflicts with the earlier patch I sent to just always drop
when it's multicast.

Dropping multicast A-MSDU frames is fine for me.
