+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: remove STA txq pending airtime underflow
+ warning
+
+This warning can trigger if there is a mismatch between frames that were
+sent with the sta pointer set vs tx status frames reported for the sta address.
+
+This can happen due to race conditions on re-creating stations, or even
+in the case of .sta_add/remove being used instead of .sta_state, which can cause
+frames to be sent to a station that has not been uploaded yet.
+
+If there is an actual underflow issue, it should show up in the device airtime
+warning below, so it is better to remove this one.
