All BA sessions are destroyed right after reconfig. For devices that
manage these in FW, the FW was just reloaded and doesn't know about
existing sessions at all.
So I guess there's sense in sending the delBA, but no sense calling
the driver ampdu callback (at least for how 12xx works).

Yea. These handle other situations.
