3 Subject: [PATCH] wifi: mac80211: add a workaround for receiving
4 non-standard mesh A-MSDU
6 At least ath10k and ath11k supported hardware (maybe more) does not implement
7 mesh A-MSDU aggregation in a standard compliant way.
8 802.11-2020 9.3.2.2.2 declares that the Mesh Control field is part of the
9 A-MSDU header. As such, its length must not be included in the subframe
11 Hardware affected by this bug treats the mesh control field as part of the
12 MSDU data and sets the length accordingly.
13 In order to avoid packet loss, keep track of which stations are affected
14 by this and take it into account when converting A-MSDU to 802.3 + mesh control
