Subject: [PATCH 3.2 056/152] mac80211: fix multicast LED blinking and counter

3.2.67-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Andreas Müller <goo@...pelspeicher.org>

commit d025933e29872cb1fe19fc54d80e4dfa4ee5779c upstream.

As multicast-frames can't be fragmented, "dot11MulticastReceivedFrameCount"
stopped being incremented after the use-after-free fix. Furthermore, the
RX-LED will be triggered by every multicast frame (which wouldn't happen
before) which wouldn't allow the LED to rest at all.

Fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89431 which also had the
patch.
