+ mac80211: consolidate MIC failure report handling
+
+is possible to that we dereference rx->key == NULL when driver set
+RX_FLAG_MMIC_STRIPPED and not RX_FLAG_IV_STRIPPED and we are in
+promiscuous mode. This happen with rt73usb and rt61pci at least.
+
+Before the commit we always check rx->key against NULL, so I assume
+fix should be done in mac80211 (also mic_fail path has similar check).
