    iwlwifi: mvm: handle BAR_FRAME_RELEASE (0xc2) notification · fe69b7d1
    Johannes Berg authored
    In prior hardware generations (e.g. 9000 series), we received the BAR
    frame with fake NSSN information to handle releasing frames from the
    reorder buffer for the default queue, the other queues were getting
    the FRAME_RELEASE notification in this case.
    
    With multi-TID block-ack, the firmware no longer sends us the BAR
    frame because the fake RX is quite big (just the metadata is around
    48 bytes or so). Instead, it now sends us one (or multiple) special
    release notifications (0xc2). The hardware consumes these as well,
    but only generates the FRAME_RELEASE (0xc3) for queues other than
    the default queue. We thus need to handle them in the same way we
    handle the normal FRAME_RELEASE.
