Commit 7b6ddeaf27ec ("mac80211: use QoS NDP for AP probing") adds an
argument qos_ok to ieee80211_nullfunc_get to support QoS NDP. Despite
the claim in the commit log "Change all the drivers to *not* allow
QoS NDP for now, even though it looks like most of them should be OK
with that", this commit enables QoS NDP in response to beacons (see
change to mlme.c:ieee80211_send_nullfunc), causing ath9k_htc to lose
IP connectivity. See:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10241109/
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=891060
This patch replaces the argument qos_ok of ieee80211_nullfunc_get
with an ieee80211_hw flag that drivers can use to declare support for
QoS NDP, allowing consistent behaviour between mlme.c and drivers.

Please reject this patch. I will submit a revised patch that adds the
new flag to hw_flag_names in net/mac80211/debugfs.c.
