There's nothing wrong with the message... as long as its reasonable
and does not spam the logs as in my case [had about 100k entries].

Well, ath9k's rc works different than minstrel_ht. In fact that check
is not needed as ath9k's rc can check the tid state directly in
ath_tx_aggr_check [which I think it already does... unless something
is wrong with the txtid->state check?!].
