It's still pretty dumb of the firmware to require that the driver tell
the firmware _again_ (it already has that info) whether a TX packet is
part of an AMPDU session or not, but I guess this requirement is set in
stone now.

I'm still not happy that it just does this blindly based on whether
the image is an AP firmware image or not (earlier AP images did not
require this).

Ideally they'd just replace the firmware people by ones that have
some taste, but that probably won't happen.
