Re: [PATCH net-next v2] ath10k: fix RX of frames with broken FCS in monitor mode

Linus Lüssing [off-list ref] writes:

From: Linus Lüssing <redacted>

So far, frames were forwarded regardless of the FCS correctness leading
to userspace applications listening on the monitor mode interface to
receive potentially broken frames, even with the "fcsfail" flag unset.

By default, with the "fcsfail" flag of a monitor mode interface
unset, frames with FCS errors should be dropped. With this patch, the
fcsfail flag is taken into account correctly.

ath10k patches go ath-next branch, not net-next. So to avoid confusion
please don't mark ath10k patches as "net-next", please.

This was tested on an Open Mesh A41 device, featuring a QCA4019. And
with this firmware:

https://www.candelatech.com/downloads/ath10k-4019-10-4b/firmware-5-ct-full-community-12.bin-lede.011

I'll add this testing information to the commit log. (No need to resend
just because of commit log changes)

But from looking at the code it seems that the vanilla ath10k has the
same issue, therefore submitting it here.

So this should work with the Qualcomm firmware as well, right?
