This is already done by rt2x00 and ath9k by checking the

minstrel_ht.

Felix, I didn't have a closer look at the ath9k aggregation code but I guess it
can also be simplified with this change.

Any objections?
Yes, this probably breaks ath9k. IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU is used to indicate that the packet is part of an aggregation session, so ath9k only does block ack window tracking for packets that have this flag set. I think the drivers should continue to check for IEEE80211_TX_CTL_RATE_CTRL_PROBE
