mwifiex: do not reconfigure tx buffer size in firmware while associating
It's observed that reconfiguration of tx buffer size before association can cause data path failure in firmware after associated. Although this is only found with PCIe cards, but potentially it could happen with any other interfaces as well. The tx buffer reconfiguration is not really useful in firmware. Let's remove it for all interfaces. Signed-off-by: Bing Zhao <bzhao@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: Avinash Patil <patila@marvell.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
