Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: fix max_ht_ampdu_exponent for older devices
The commit below didn't update the max_ht_ampdu_exponent
for the devices listed in iwl-[1-6]000.c
This had an impact in the Rx throughput. One user reported
that because of this, his downstream throughput by a half.
Fix that.
CC: <stable@vger.kernel.org> [3.19]
Fixes: c064ddf318aa ("iwlwifi: change max HT and VHT A-MPDU exponent")
