mac80211: avoid reflecting frames back to the client (42dca5ef) · Commits · 戴 / test

I'm not really sure exactly _why_ I've been carrying a note for what's probably _years_ to check that we don't do this, but we clearly do reflect frames back to the station itself if it sends such. One way or the other, it's useless since the station doesn't really need the AP to talk to itself, so suppress it. While at it, clarify some of the logic by removing skb->data references in favour of the destination address (pointer) we already have separately. Signed-off-by:
