3 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: remove iwlwifi specific workaround that broke sta
6 Sending nulldata packets is important for sw AP link probing and detecting
7 4-address mode links. The checks that dropped these packets were apparently
8 added to work around an iwlwifi firmware bug with multi-TID aggregation.
