I don't think this is a good idea. This code intentionally checked if
TX status was requested, and if not then it doesn't go to the effort of
building it.

As it is with your patch, it'll go and report the TX status without any
TX status information - which is handled in wcn36xx_dxe_tx_ack_ind()
for those frames needing it.
