    mwifiex: fix 11n rx packet drop issue · 92583924
    Stone Piao authored
    Currently we check the sequence number of last packet received
    against start_win. If a sequence hole is detected, start_win is
    updated to next sequence number.
    
    Since the rx sequence number is initialized to 0, a corner case
    exists when BA setup happens immediately after association. As
    0 is a valid sequence number, start_win gets increased to 1
    incorrectly. This causes the first packet with sequence number 0
    being dropped.
    
    Initialize rx sequence number as 0xffff and skip adjusting
    start_win if the sequence number remains 0xffff. The sequence
    number will be updated once the first packet is received.
