The ieee80211_tx_info_clear_status() helper also clears the rate counts and the driver-private part of struct ieee80211_tx_info, so using it breaks quite a few other things. So back out of using it, and instead define a ath-internal helper that only clears the area between the status_driver_data and the rates info. Combined with moving the ath_frame_info struct to status_driver_data, this avoids clearing anything we shouldn't be, and so we can keep the existing code for handling the rate information. While fixing this I also noticed that the setting of tx_info->status.rates[tx_rateindex].count on hardware underrun errors was always immediately overridden by the normal setting of the same fields, so rearrange the code so that the underrun detection actually takes effect. The new helper could be generalised to a 'memset_between()' helper, but leave it as a driver-internal helper for now since this needs to go to stable.

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.
