Rafał Miłecki a186c2ab70 mac80211: rename patches accepted upstream
This is to simplify maintenance. It's easy to say now which patches need
some extra work and/or sending upstream. Updating to newer backports
should be also simpler with this.

Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: discard undersized packets
Sometimes the hardware will push small packets that trigger a WARN_ON
in mac80211. Discard them early to avoid this issue.
