+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix wiphy supported_band access
+
+Fix wiphy supported_band access in tx radiotap parsing. In particular,
+info->band is always set to 0 (IEEE80211_BAND_2GHZ) since it has not
+assigned yet. This cause a kernel crash on 5GHz only devices.
+Move ieee80211_parse_tx_radiotap() after info->band assignment
