mac80211: dont assign seqno to or aggregate QoS Null frames
802.11 says: "Sequence numbers for QoS (+)Null frames may be set to any value." However, if we use the normal counters then peers will get confused with aggregation since there'll be holes in the sequence number sequence. To avoid that, neither assign a sequence number to QoS null frames nor put them on aggregation. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
