ath9k: Optimize LNA check
The documentation for antenna diversity says: "The decision of diversity is done at 802.11 preamble. So, for 11G/11B, for every MAC packet hardware will do a decision. But in 11N with aggregation, the decision is made only at the preamble and all other MPDUs will use the same LNA as the first MPDU." Make use of rs_firstaggr to avoid needlessly scanning for LNA changes. Signed-off-by: Sujith Manoharan <c_manoha@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
