[PATCH 4/5] mac80211: Only accept data frames in OCB mode

From: Bertold Van den Bergh <hidden>
Date: 2015-08-05 14:02:47
Subsystem: mac80211, the rest · Maintainers: Johannes Berg, Linus Torvalds

Currently OCB mode accepts frames with bssid==broadcast and type!=beacon.
Some non-data frames are sent matching this, for example probe responses.
This results in unnecessary creation of STA entries.
