You don't modify ssn here, so why pass it as a pointer? Use u16 directly
here instead.

Actually it's even worse.  As stated in mac80211.h, ssn can be NULL
here, so you would be accessing a NULL pointer in that case.

I see that you check "policy", which indicates whether ssn is valid or
not, but why not make it cleaner by checking if ssn is NULL and setting
it to zero before passing instead?

Also, because of this, it would make more sense if policy was a boolean
and was called "enable" instead.

I'm a bit confused.  What is ba_allowed, actually? In the previous patch
you always call wl1271_set_ba_policies() which always sets it to true.
So it seems quite useless.

The indentation is wrong here.  And -EPERM is definitely not the right
return code for this.  It should probably -ENOTSUPP or something like
that.

-EINVAL? Actually, should mac80211 even call us with these actions? I
don't remember now, did you implement the way to prevent mac80211 from
trying to to AMPDU_TX by itself?

-ENODEV? All these error codes look quite random to me.  Can you explain
your choices?
