From: Linus Lüssing <[email protected]>
So far, frames were forwarded regardless of the FCS correctness leading
to userspace applications listening on the monitor mode interface to
receive potentially broken frames, even with the "fcsfail" flag unset.
By default, with the "fcsfail" flag of a monitor mode interface
unset, frames with FCS errors should be dropped. With this patch, the
fcsfail flag is taken into account correctly.

This was tested on an Open Mesh A41 device, featuring a QCA4019. And
with this firmware:
https://www.candelatech.com/downloads/ath10k-4019-10-4b/firmware-5-ct-full-community-12.bin-lede.011
But from looking at the code it seems that the vanilla ath10k has the
same issue, therefore submitting it here.
Changelog v2:
* removed the spinlock as only a 32 bit statistics counter is
incremented
Changelog RFC->v1:
* removed "ar->monitor" check
* added a debug counter
