[PATCH 10/17] staging: wfx: fix the warning "inconsistent notification"

From: Jerome Pouiller
Date: Mon Apr 27 2020 - 09:41:36 EST


From: JÃrÃme Pouiller <jerome.pouiller@xxxxxxxxxx>

In some circumstances, Tx traffic is sent without associated station but
the station exists when the Tx status is received. Beside that, the
driver keep a counter associated to each station. So, in this case, the
counter is not incremented, but is decremented. In this case a warning
"inconsistent notification" appears:
