From: Jérôme Pouiller <jerome.pouiller@xxxxxxxxxx>
In some rare cases, driver may not have any available tx_retry_policies.
In this case, the driver asks to mac80211 to stop sending data. However,
it seems that a race is possible and a few frames can be sent to the
driver. In this case, driver can't wait for free tx_retry_policies since
wfx_tx() must be atomic. So, this patch fix this case by sending these
frames with the special policy number 15.
The firmware normally use policy 15 to send internal frames (PS-poll,
beacons, etc...). So, it is not a so bad fallback.
