commit: ff32d9cd2c4107224a28f39d3c72eec66d566e09

Subject: [PATCH] ath9k_hw: fix potential spurious tx error bit interpretation

According to documentation, AR_ExcessiveRetries, AR_Filtered and
AR_FIFOUnderrun are only valid if AR_FrmXmitOK is clear.

Not checking this might result in suboptimal FIFO settings, unnecessary
retransmissions, or other connectivity issues.
