In rtl88ee_tx_fill_cmddesc(), skb->data is mapped to streaming DMA on
line 677:
dma_addr_t mapping = dma_map_single(..., skb->data, ...);
On line 680, skb->data is assigned to hdr after cast:
struct ieee80211_hdr *hdr = (struct ieee80211_hdr *)(skb->data);
Then hdr->frame_control is accessed on line 681:
__le16 fc = hdr->frame_control;
This DMA access may cause data inconsistency between CPU and hardwre.
To fix this bug, hdr->frame_control is accessed before the DMA mapping.
