As discussed on IRC. So there is no dependency between the index of the
ACX_TID_CFG configurations and the tid passed to the TX descriptor.
Instead the FW independently maps the tids to corresponding AC's,
regardless of the tsid's configured in ACX_TID_CFG.

My confusion here was that I assumed the indexes given to ACX_TID_CFG
must match the actual priority values.

Based on this and the IRC chat (which was enlightening):
