mac80211: move control.hw_key assignment
When mac80211 asks a driver to encrypt a frame, it must assign the control.hw_key pointer for it to know which key to use etc. Currently, mac80211 does this whenever it would software-encrypt a frame. Change the logic of this code to assign the hw_key pointer when selecting the key, and later check it when deciding whether to encrypt the frame or let it be encrypted by the hardware. This allows us to later simply skip the encryption function since it no longer modifies the TX control. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.
