Subject: mac80211: reject TSPEC TIDs (TSIDs) for aggregation

From: Johannes Berg <[email protected]>

commit 85d5313ed717ad60769491c7c072d23bc0a68e7a upstream.

Since mac80211 doesn't currently support TSIDs 8-15 which can only be used after QoS TSPEC negotiation (and not even after WMM negotiation), reject attempts to set up aggregation sessions for them, which might confuse drivers. In mac80211 we do correctly handle that, but the TSIDs should never get used anyway, and drivers might not be able to handle it.
