Tx descriptor search index field should be updated with hw peer id
and not by AST Hash. Incorrect search index causes throughput degradation
in all the platforms. so updated the search index field with hw peer id,
which is a common change applicable for all the platforms.

How about non STATION type?

Could you be more details under what conditions you observed the
throughput degradation?

no need of configuring the ast_idx, ast_hash field for non station type.
Its recommended by HW/FW team.

Can you add this comment in commit message?
Also could you include the answer to "what conditions you observed the
throughput degradation?" in commit message too?
