Subject: [022/165] ath9k: Avoid corrupt frames being forwarded to mac80211.

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Vivek Natarajan <vnatarajan@...eros.com>

commit 3a37495268ab45507b4cab9d4cb18c5496ab7a10 upstream.

If bit 29 is set, MAC H/W can attempt to decrypt the received aggregate
with WEP or TKIP, eventhough the received frame may be a CRC failed
corrupted frame. If this bit is set, H/W obeys key type in keycache.
If it is not set and if the key type in keycache is neither open nor
AES, H/W forces key type to be open.  But bit 29 should be set to 1
for AsyncFIFO feature to encrypt/decrypt the aggregate with WEP or TKIP.
