ath9k: fix another source of corrupt frames
Atheros hardware supports receiving frames that span multiple descriptors and buffers. In this case, the rx status of every descriptor except for the last one is invalid and may contain random data. Because the driver does not support this, it needs to drop such frames. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
