Hi Huawei,

Thanks for the patch.

> Under uap mode mwifiex may stop all net tx queues on forwarding packets. This may stop some tx queues
> and they never have chance to be waked up... There is also no need to check tx_pending and stop
> queues here. Because local host has such kind of check when transmitting packets and it's not proper
> to have forwarding affect local transmitting.
