Subject: p54: fix sequence no. accounting off-by-one error
From: Christian Lamparter <[email protected]>
commit 3b5c5827d1f80ad8ae844a8b1183f59ddb90fe25 upstream.
P54_HDR_FLAG_DATA_OUT_SEQNR is meant to tell the
firmware that "the frame's sequence number has
already been set by the application."
Whereas IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ is set for
frames which lack a valid sequence number and
either the driver or firmware has to assign one.
Yup, it's the exact opposite!
