ath9k: Fix STA disconnect issue due to received MIC failed bcast frames
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
AR_RxKeyIdxValid will not be set for bcast/mcast frames and so relying
this status for MIC failed frames is buggy.

Due to this, MIC failure events for broadcast frames are not sent to
supplicant resulted in AP disconnecting the STA.

Able to pass Wifi Test case 5.2.18 with this fix.
