You are right. I should have been more careful while I have tested this patch-set.

Only rt2800 devices are affected. The offending code runs only if
REQUIRE_TXSTATUS_FIFO is set in rt2x00dev->cap_flags which is not set for older
chips.

I will post a fix for the actual problem first, and will rebase the series on
top of that.

Great!
