[ Upstream commitf4d291b43f] The driver_data area of ieee80211_tx_info is used in ath11k for ath11k_skb_cb. The first function in the TX patch which rewrites it to ath11k_skb_cb is already ath11k_mac_op_tx. No one else in the code path must use it for something else before it reinitializes it. Otherwise the data has to be considered uninitialized or corrupt. But the ieee80211_tx_info.control shares exactly the same area as ieee80211_tx_info.driver_data and ath11k is still using it. This results in best case in a ath11k c000000.wifi1: no vif found for mgmt frame, flags 0x0 or (slightly worse) in a kernel oops. Instead, the interesting data must be moved first into the ath11k_skb_cb and ieee80211_tx_info.control must then not be used anymore.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
