+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: add AQL support for broadcast packets
+
+Excessive broadcast traffic with little competing unicast traffic can easily
+flood hardware queues, leading to throughput issues. Additionally, filling
+the hardware queues with too many packets breaks FQ for broadcast data.
+Fix this by enabling AQL for broadcast packets.
