Please add a Fixes: tag, since this addresses a real RX-path bug.
At least the dp_rx.c change seems to trace back to
2167fa606c0f ("ath11k: Add support for RX decapsulation offload").

Please also use the usual wireless subject prefix, e.g.
wifi: ath11k: fix peer resolution on rx path when peer_id=0

It would also be useful to add a Tested-on: tag if this was validated on
affected hardware, as suggested in the ath11k submission guidelines.
