However on rt2x00 we use it when remote station fail to decode one or more subframes within AMPDU (some bits are not set in BlockAck bitmap). Setting the flag result in sent of BAR (BlockAck Request) frame and this might result of abuse of BA session, since remote station can sent BA with incorrect sequence numbers after receiving BAR. This problem is visible especially when connecting two rt2800 devices. Previously I observed some performance benefits when using the flag when connecting with iwlwifi devices. But currently possibly due to reacent changes in rt2x00 removing the flag has no effect on those test cases. So remove the IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK.
