-Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: mesh: avoid pointless station lookup
-
-In ieee80211_build_hdr(), the station is looked up to build the
-header correctly (QoS field) and to check for authorization. For
-mesh, authorization isn't checked here, and QoS capability is
-mandatory, so the station lookup can be avoided.
