When a function is using functions from mac80211 to free an skb then it should do it consistently and not switch to the generic dev_kfree_skb_any (or similar functions). Otherwise (like in the error handlers), mac80211 will will not be aware of the freed skb and thus not clean up related information in its internal data structures. Not doing so lead in the past to filled up structure which then prevented new clients to connect.
