[PATCH v2 2/3] rsi: fix key enabled check causing unwanted encryption for vap_id > 0

From: Martin Fuzzey
Date: Mon Aug 30 2021 - 11:27:01 EST


My previous patch checked if encryption should be enabled by directly
checking info->control.hw_key (like the downstream driver).
However that missed that the control and driver_info members of
struct ieee80211_tx_info are union fields.

Due to this when rsi_core_xmit() updates fields in "tx_params"
(driver_info) it can overwrite the control.hw_key, causing the result
of the later test to be incorrect.

With the current structure layout the first byte of control.hw_key is
overlayed with the vap_id so, since we only test if control.hw_key is
NULL / non NULL, a non zero vap_id will incorrectly enable encryption.

In basic STA and AP modes the vap_id is always zero so it works but in
P2P client mode a second VIF is created causing vap_id to be non zero
and hence encryption to be enabled before keys have been set.

Fix this by extracting the key presence flag to a new field in the driver
private tx_params structure and populating it first.
