Hmm, I'm starting to suspect something is wrong. I did a test merge of
net-next and wireless-drivers-next and got this as a diff after the
merge:

But commit 5c08b0f5026f ("iwlwifi: mvm: don't override the rate with the
AMSDU len") specifically added skb_info variable to that function:

I wasn't expecting that skb_info variable is removed. Do we now have
merge damage somewhere? Luca, what do you think?
