Sorry top posting.

The issues in raw mode with CCMP-256, GCMP and GCMP-256 were already known and
the same was captured in the commit log. As mentioned in the commit log, raw 
mode
with these ciphers does not work even without this particular patch and it 
needs some cleanup
like done in the follow up patch https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10029099/.

the same is for the MIC

+               /* MIC */
+               if ((status->flag & RX_FLAG_MIC_STRIPPED) &&
+                   enctype == HTT_RX_MPDU_ENCRYPT_AES_CCM_WPA2)
+                       skb_trim(msdu, msdu->len - 8);


this code looks wrong too
