This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

staging: vt6656: Fix false Tx excessive retries reporting.

to my staging git tree which can be found at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git in the staging-testing branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The driver reporting IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK is not being handled correctly. The driver should only report on TSR_TMO flag is not set indicating no transmission errors and when not IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK is being requested.
