Yeah, guess so :)

~/build/linux/drivers/net/wireless $ git grep 'skb->priority = '
ath/ath9k/channel.c:		skb->priority = 7;
broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/core.c:		skb->priority = cfg80211_classify8021d(skb, NULL);
broadcom/brcm80211/brcmutil/utils.c:		skb->priority = 0;
intel/ipw2x00/libipw_tx.c:		skb->priority = libipw_classify(skb);
marvell/mwifiex/cfg80211.c:	skb->priority = LOW_PRIO_TID;
marvell/mwifiex/main.c:	skb->priority = cfg80211_classify8021d(skb, NULL);
marvell/mwifiex/tdls.c:		skb->priority = MWIFIEX_PRIO_BK;
marvell/mwifiex/tdls.c:		skb->priority = MWIFIEX_PRIO_VI;
marvell/mwifiex/tdls.c:	skb->priority = MWIFIEX_PRIO_VI;
rsi/rsi_91x_core.c:		skb->priority = q_num;
rsi/rsi_91x_core.c:			skb->priority = TID_TO_WME_AC(tid);
rsi/rsi_91x_core.c:			skb->priority = BE_Q;
rsi/rsi_91x_core.c:			skb->priority = q_num;
rsi/rsi_91x_hal.c:			skb->priority = VO_Q;
rsi/rsi_91x_mgmt.c:	skb->priority = MGMT_SOFT_Q;
ti/wlcore/main.c:	skb->priority = WL1271_TID_MGMT;

Doesn't seem *that* excessive? Obviously there could be other cases, and
I haven't looked closer at any of those...

Does it matter for the drivers that don't use TXQs?
