Subject: [16/49] iwlagn: fix TID use bug

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

commit 9a215e40d70ae63762963ab3ccc7f31dd966dc6a upstream.

The driver everywhere uses max TID count as 9,
which is wrong, it should be 8.

I think the reason it uses 9 here is off-by-one
confusion by whoever wrote this. We do use the
value IWL_MAX_TID_COUNT for "not QoS/no TID"
but that is completely correct even if it is 8
and not 9 since 0-7 are only valid.

As a side effect, this fixes the following bug:

 Open BA session requested for 00:23:cd:16:8a:7e tid 8
 ------------[ cut here ]------------
 kernel BUG at drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-trans-pcie-int.h:350!
 ...

when you do
echo "tx start 8" > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/*/*/*/*/agg_status
