Subject: [055/115] p54: fix sequence no. accounting off-by-one error

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

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

From: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@...glemail.com>

commit 3b5c5827d1f80ad8ae844a8b1183f59ddb90fe25 upstream.

P54_HDR_FLAG_DATA_OUT_SEQNR is meant to tell the
firmware that "the frame's sequence number has
already been set by the application."

Whereas IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ is set for
frames which lack a valid sequence number and
either the driver or firmware has to assign one.

Yup, it's the exact opposite!
