-Subject: [PATCH for v5.2] iwlwifi: mvm: disable TX-AMSDU on older NICs
-Date: Wed, 3 Jul 2019 11:10:49 +0300
-Message-Id: <20190703081049.28831-1-luca@coelho.fi>

-From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
-
-On older NICs, we occasionally see issues with A-MSDU support,
-where the commands in the FIFO get confused and then we see an
-assert EDC because the next command in the FIFO isn't TX.
-
-We've tried to isolate this issue and understand where it comes
-from, but haven't found any errors in building the A-MSDU in
-software.
-
-At least for now, disable A-MSDU support on older hardware so
-that users can use it again without fearing the assert.
-
-This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203315.
