Subject: mac80211: fix regression in SSN handling of addba tx
From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@xxxxxxxx>
commit 73111efacd3c6d9e644acca1d132566932be8af0 upstream.
Some drivers that do their own sequence number allocation (e.g. ath9k) rely
on being able to modify params->ssn on starting tx ampdu sessions.
This was broken by a change that modified it to use sta->tid_seq[tid] instead.
