+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: minstrel_ht: add flag to indicate
+ missing/inaccurate tx A-MPDU length
+
+Some hardware (e.g. MediaTek MT7603) cannot report A-MPDU length in tx status
+information. Add support for a flag to indicate that, to allow minstrel_ht
+to use a fixed value in its internal calculation (which gives better results
+than just defaulting to 1).
