The driver_data area of ieee80211_tx_info is used in ath11k for
ath11k_skb_cb. The first function in the TX patch which rewrites it to
ath11k_skb_cb is already ath11k_mac_op_tx. No one else in the code path
must use it for something else before it reinitializes it. Otherwise the
data has to be considered uninitialized or corrupt.
But the ieee80211_tx_info.control shares exactly the same area as
ieee80211_tx_info.driver_data and ath11k is still using it. This results in
best case in a
ath11k c000000.wifi1: no vif found for mgmt frame, flags 0x0
or (slightly worse) in a kernel oops.
Instead, the interesting data must be moved first into the ath11k_skb_cb
and ieee80211_tx_info.control must then not be used anymore.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
