My previous patch checked if encryption should be enabled by directly
checking info->control.hw_key (like the downstream driver).
However that missed that the control and driver_info members of
struct ieee80211_tx_info are union fields.
Due to this when rsi_core_xmit() updates fields in "tx_params"
(driver_info) it can overwrite the control.hw_key, causing the result
of the later test to be incorrect.
With the current structure layout the first byte of control.hw_key is
overlayed with the vap_id so, since we only test if control.hw_key is
NULL / non NULL, a non zero vap_id will incorrectly enable encryption.
In basic STA and AP modes the vap_id is always zero so it works but in
P2P client mode a second VIF is created causing vap_id to be non zero
and hence encryption to be enabled before keys have been set.
Fix this by extracting the key presence flag to a new field in the driver
private tx_params structure and populating it first.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
