+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix purging multicast PS buffer queue
+
+The code currently assumes that buffered multicast PS frames don't have
+a pending ACK frame for tx status reporting.
+However, hostapd sends a broadcast deauth frame on teardown for which tx
+status is requested. This can lead to the "Have pending ack frames"
+warning on module reload.
+Fix this by using ieee80211_free_txskb/ieee80211_purge_tx_queue.
