Subject: mac80211: send control port protocol frames to the VO queue
From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@xxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 1bf4bbb4024dcdab5e57634dd8ae1072d42a53ac upstream.
Improves reliability of wifi connections with WPA, since authentication
frames are prioritized over normal traffic and also typically exempt
from aggregation.
