    mac80211: reduce packet loss notifications under load
    
    During strong signal fluctuations under high throughput, few consecutive
    failed A-MPDU transmissions can easily trigger packet loss notification,
    and thus (in AP mode) client disconnection.
    
    Reduce the number of false positives by checking the A-MPDU status flag
    and treating a failed A-MPDU as a single packet.

    ath9k: avoid passing buffers to the hardware during flush
    
    The commit "ath9k: fix possible hang on flush" changed the receive code
    to always link rx descriptors of processed frames, even when flushing.
    In some cases, this leads to flushed rx buffers being passed to the
    hardware while rx is already stopped.
