The patch title doesn't seem to match with the content. Unless I'm
mistaken it looks like you are adding native wifi frame format support
and doing some cleanup at the same time. They should be in separate
patches.

It would be good to have small comments what each part is doing("remove
the native wifi header", "copy the real 802.11 header", "copy correct
destination address" etc), makes it a lot faster to skim the code. Also
document why IEEE80211_QOS_CTL_A_MSDU_PRESENT needs to be cleared.

Please keep the comment still

Again add small comments describing how we are modifying the headers.

Ditto.

And here.
