Any chance you could give a quick overview of what goes in the pkt_type
and bss_num fields?

This would mean that bss_num == 0 indicates a regular frame.  Is that
correct?  For mesh frames bss_num will always be > 0?  The old-style
rx_control flag seems a bit cleaner to me, but whatever works :)

I'd prefer to keep this code; can you protect it with firmware version
checks for firmware < 5.1?  It looks like those older firmware versions
use it, but the 5.1 specification marks RxStatus "Reserved".  Since the
driver still works with cf8385 and sd8385 using firmware 5.0.16 and
such, I'm not sure we should remove this yet.

Same here, can you protect this with firmware checks so it only runs for
firmware < 5.1?

And here too...  other than that, looks good.

Thanks!
