+Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: Fix failure to send NULL func frame for 10.4
+
+This partially reverts 'commit 2cdce425aa33
+("ath10k: Fix broken NULL func data frame status for 10.4")'
+Unfortunately this breaks sending NULL func and the existing
+issue of obtaining proper tx status for NULL function will be
+fixed. Also update the comments for feature flag added to be
+useless and not working
+
