Please indicate which so we have a record of who's shipping broken junk.
The below log i taken with pixel3 client device

but the cmd id and length not matching to addba
extension and it failing in element parsing.

Due to this, addba request
not acknowledged and aggregation not started which is causing low
throughput. Hence validating the cmd id before processing addba extension.

 	ies_len = len - offsetof(struct ieee80211_mgmt,
 				 u.action.u.addba_req.variable);
-	if (ies_len) {
+	if (ies_len &&
+	    mgmt->u.action.u.addba_req.variable[0] == WLAN_EID_ADDBA_EXT) {
 		ieee802_11_parse_elems(mgmt->u.action.u.addba_req.variable,
                                 ies_len, true, &elems, mgmt->bssid, NULL);
 		if (elems.parse_error)

So we get into parse_error without this?
yes, we getting parse error.

What are they putting there instead?
first 9 bytes are addba request action frame and remaining 7 bytes
extension causing for parse error.
