Could you please clarify why do you define max_data_retry_count instead of
making use of existing wiphy params: retry_short (dot11ShortRetryLimit)
and retry_long (dot11LongRetryLimit) ?

Not that important, but this tid_no check can be placed after
attrs[NL80211_ATTR_TID].

BTW, some special tid_no value (e.g. (u8)-1) could be used to notify driver
that retry settings should be applied for all the TIDs. IIUC the only
required change would be to modify this tid_no sanity check.
