Subject: staging: vt6655: use ieee80211_tx_info to select packet type.
From: Malcolm Priestley <tvboxspy@xxxxxxxxx>
commit a6388e68321a1e0a0f408379c2a36396807745b3 upstream.
Information for packet type is in ieee80211_tx_info
band IEEE80211_BAND_5GHZ for PK_TYPE_11A.
IEEE80211_TX_RC_USE_CTS_PROTECT via tx_rate flags selects PK_TYPE_11GB
This ensures that the packet is always the right type.
