Ack/+1, 

It's not the last fix for 'delba' unfortunately :(

Next lines should use delba as u8 if I see correctly
See rtllib_DELBA() (line 141) - It first fills skb with rtllib_hdr_3_addr,
and then adds skb delbaparam_set and reasonCode (as a 6 bytes).
Or I'm tired - will re-check tomorrow.

Funniest thing is - it is processed like that since at least 2011..

Good thing is - this code seems not to be executed
at least not on my 'ordinary' test configuration (WPA2, 2.5G N).

I will try to figure out - perhaps it can be safely 
removed (conditions for it's execution may be never never met).

Bad thing is - this driver(s) are probably full of bugs like that :/
