I don't think it really matters, since AMPDU packets will be fixed soon,
and for those you know it's necessary (and the report says that under
some other circumstances it's also necessary). Unless there'd be some
benefit from using BIDI only when we know it'll be needed, and using
TODEV in the other cases?
