Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 211/251] mac80211: accept deauth frames in IBSS mode

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

[ Upstream commit 95697f9907bfe3eab0ef20265a766b22e27dde64 ]

We can process deauth frames and all, but we drop them very
early in the RX path today - this could never have worked.

Fixes: 2cc59e784b54 ("mac80211: reply to AUTH with DEAUTH if sta allocation fails in IBSS")
