Toke Høiland-Jørgensen 037250f0a4 ath9k: Properly clear TX status area before reporting to mac80211
The ath9k driver was not properly clearing the status area in the
ieee80211_tx_info struct before reporting TX status to mac80211. Instead,
it was manually filling in fields, which meant that fields introduced later
were left as-is.

Conveniently, mac80211 actually provides a helper to zero out the status
area, so use that to make sure we zero everything.

The last commit touching the driver function writing the status information
seems to have actually been fixing an issue that was also caused by the
area being uninitialised; but it only added clearing of a single field
instead of the whole struct. That is now redundant, though, so revert that
commit and use it as a convenient Fixes tag.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
