Until now only WMI originating mgmt frames were
reported to mac80211. Management frames on HTT
were basically dropped (except frames which looked
like management but had FCS error).

To allow sniffing all frames (including offloaded
frames) without interfering with mac80211
operation and states a new rx_flag was introduced
and is not being used to distinguish frames and
classify them for mac80211.

Does this change valid for all the firmware 10.1, 10.2, 10.4, and etc.?

Management frames are encrypted in MFP condition.
This change seems breaking MFP frame from working.

Ditto.
Could you provide test results in MFP case?

This patch don't affect processing PMF frames by mac80211 and higher layers.
With this change, mgmt frames from HTT instead of being dropped can be
sent to mac80211 _only_ to monitor vif's. Frames from wmi_mgmt_rx are
send to mac80211 to all vif _except_ monitor.

Behavior does not change - we take PMF frames from WMI path. The only
diffrent is that frames from WMI never go to moniotr vif - we take
them form HTT path.
