Subject: [PATCH 03/55] staging: wfx: fix counter overflow

From: Jérôme Pouiller <jerome.pouiller@...abs.com>

Some weird behaviors were observed when connection is really good and
packets are small. It appears that sometime, number of packets in queues
can exceed 255 and generate an overflow in field usage_count.
