[RFC 5/5] ath9k_htc: adhere to the DONT_REORDER transmit flag

From: Mathy Vanhoef <hidden>
Date: 2020-07-24 05:52:15
Subsystem: atheros ath generic utilities, qualcomm atheros ath9k wireless driver, the rest · Maintainers: Jeff Johnson, Toke Høiland-Jørgensen, Linus Torvalds

Assure that frames with the fixed order flag are not reordered
relative to each other. This is accomplished by transmitting them
using a fixed priority independent of their QoS field.
