For historic reasons we have separate cases for mic_fail and
mic_fail_no_key. But with current code we can merge those cases,
as we already have NULL key check since:

commit a66b98db570a638afd909459e1e6bfa272344bd3

    mac80211: fix rx->key NULL dereference during mic failure

Patch makes the rx->key->u.tkip.mic_failures statistics
increase on all cases when RX_FLAG_MMIC_ERROR is set.

Maybe better to use:
... since commit a66b98db570a ("mac80211: fix rx->key NULL dereference 
during mic failure").

as it is the preferred method to reference git commits.

Is easier for me to just copy-paste commit in form the git log/show
command provides, so I use that form. Is there tool or git log/show
option to get commit log in the preferred form, so I do not have to
change it manually?

Thanks
