If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Felix Fietkau commit b4089d6d8e71a7293e2192025dfa507a04f661c4 upstream. Commit "rt2x00: fix HT TX descriptor settings regression" assumes that the control parameter to rt2x00mac_tx is always non-NULL. There is an internal call in rt2x00lib_bc_buffer_iter where NULL is passed. Fix the resulting crash by adding an initialized dummy on-stack ieee80211_tx_control struct.
