Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: remove iwlwifi specific workaround that broke sta NDP tx
Git-commit: e41eb3e408de27982a5f8f50b2dd8002bed96908
Patch-mainline: v5.14-rc1
References: git-fixes
Sending nulldata packets is important for sw AP link probing and detecting
4-address mode links. The checks that dropped these packets were apparently
added to work around an iwlwifi firmware bug with multi-TID aggregation.
Fixes: 41cbb0f5a295 ("mac80211: add support for HE")
