carl9170: split up carl9170_handle_mpdu
carl9170_handle_mpdu is the final part of the rx path of the driver. It splits the raw data streams from the device into skb packets and passes them on to mac80211. As a result of continuous updates, it grew over the years when new code was added by the following commits: - report A-MPDU status - fix HT peer BA session corruption - A-MPDU frame type filter - ... This patch splits the routine into two stages. The first stage only deals with the details about extracting and verifying the data from the incoming stream. Whereas the second stage packs it into skbs and passes it on to mac80211.
