Subject: brcm80211: smac: fix endless retry of A-MPDU transmissions
commit 5e379203c7788b7af01150bfadbc74d2797a2ef4 upstream.
The A-MPDU code checked against a retry limit, but it was using
the wrong variable to do so. This patch fixes this to assure
proper retry mechanism.
This problem had a side-effect causing the mac80211 flush callback
to remain waiting forever as well. That side effect has been fixed
by commit by Stanislaw Gruszka:
