From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumb...@intel.com>
3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
===============
commit 43d826ca5979927131685cc2092c7ce862cb91cd upstream.
We should always prefer to use full RTS protection. Using
CTS to self gives a meaningless improvement, but this flow
is much harder for the firmware which is likely to have
issues with it.
