Subject: [PATCH 3.13 030/149] ath9k: fix ps-poll responses under a-mpdu sessions

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

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

From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@...nwrt.org>

commit 558ff225de80ac95b132d3a115ddadcd64498b4f upstream.

When passing tx frames to the U-APSD queue for powersave poll responses,
the ath_atx_tid pointer needs to be passed to ath_tx_setup_buffer for
proper sequence number accounting.

This fixes high latency and connection stability issues with ath9k
running as AP and a few kinds of mobile phones as client, when PS-Poll
is heavily used
