Aw: [PATCH] mac80211: set up the fwd_skb->dev for mesh forwarding

[Frank Wunderlich]

Hi

maybe we should add Fixes- and Stable-Tag to get it fixed in 5.16 and previous versions

i would suggest the commit introducing the warning shown when the skb->dev is missing

[PATCH] mac80211: set up the fwd_skb->dev for mesh forwarding

[Xing Song]

Mesh forwarding requires that the fwd_skb->dev is set up for TX handling,
otherwise the following warning will be generated, so set it up for the
pending frames.
