brcm80211: smac: fix endless retry of A-MPDU transmissions
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The A-MPDU code checked against a retry limit, but it was using
the wrong variable to do so. This patch fixes this to assure
proper retry mechanism.

This problem had a side-effect causing the mac80211 flush callback
to remain waiting forever as well. That side effect has been fixed
by commit by Stanislaw Gruszka:
