When checking the flags in that order in the MAC code, it might miss some real events, because the value of the MIC error flag is undefined under some conditions. The primary issue addressed by the previous commit is making sure that MIC errors are properly reported on the STA side. This can be fixed in a better way by adding a separate rx status flag for key miss and ignoring it for multicast frames. This fix slightly improves stability in AP mode on some older hardware, like AR9132.
