    ath9k: improve reliability of MIC error detection · 66760eac
    Felix Fietkau authored
    For unicast the hardware sometimes reports MIC errors even though the
    frame that it received actually contains a valid MIC - on some chips this
    can happen frequently enough to trigger TKIP countermeasures.
    Fix this issue by not reporting MIC errors for unicast frames with a
    valid key, letting mac80211 validate the MIC instead.
    
    Additionally, strip the MIC for all frames that the hardware considers
    valid to avoid wasting CPU cycles re-validating it.
