+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: allow bigger A-MSDU sizes in VHT, even if HT is
+ limited
+
+Some APs (e.g. Asus RT-AC88U) have been observed to report an HT MSDU size
+limit of 3839 and a VHT limit of 7991. These APs can handle bigger frames
+than 3839 bytes just fine, so we should remove the VHT limit based on the
+HT capabilities. This improves tx throughput.
