mac80211: rt2x00: do not increment sequence number while re-transmitting
Currently STA+AP re-transmitting the management frames with incremented sequence number if hardware is assigning the sequence. Fix is to assign the sequence number for Beacon by hardware and for other Management frames software will assign the sequence number Signed-off-by: Vijayakumar Durai <vijayakumar.durai1@vivint.com>
