ath9k: improve reliability of MIC error detection
For unicast the hardware sometimes reports MIC errors even though the frame that it received actually contains a valid MIC - on some chips this can happen frequently enough to trigger TKIP countermeasures. Fix this issue by not reporting MIC errors for unicast frames with a valid key, letting mac80211 validate the MIC instead. Additionally, strip the MIC for all frames that the hardware considers valid to avoid wasting CPU cycles re-validating it. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W.
