Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 055/106] ath9k_htc: Silence undersized packet warnings

From: Masashi Honma <masashi.honma@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 450edd2805982d14ed79733a82927d2857b27cac ]

Some devices like TP-Link TL-WN722N produces this kind of messages
frequently.

kernel: ath: phy0: Short RX data len, dropping (dlen: 4)

This warning is useful for developers to recognize that the device
(Wi-Fi dongle or USB hub etc) is noisy but not for general users. So
this patch make this warning to debug message.
