In commit 8020919a9b99 ("mac80211: Properly handle SKB with radiotap
only"), buffers whose length is too short cause a WARN_ON(1) to be
executed. This change exposed a fault in rtlwifi drivers, which is fixed
by increasing the length of the affected buffer before it is sent to
mac80211.

Hi,
This patch doesn't appear to do anything? The increased length is not actually
used, is a part of the patch missing?
ps: superficial reading, i am not hampered by any specific knowledge of this driver.

Ian,
Yes, I debugged using a different tree and missed one use of the new len. V2
submitted.
Thanks for noticing.
