I'm using ath9k.
Here's something interesting I have found. sdata->dev is valid if
info->flags is 0x14091 and not valid if it's 0x12091.
0x4000 is IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NEED_TXPROCESSING and 0x2000 is
IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RCALGO.
This patch prevents any panics. Moreover, I get a connection with the
correct PSK.
