    ath10k/ath10k-ct: support multicast and management rate control · a399b607
    Sven Eckelmann authored
    Drivers with software rate control can directly use the selected multicast
    rate for multicast/broadcast frames and the minimal basic rate for
    management frames. But drivers with offloaded rate control algorithms must
    be informed about such upper layer decisions to configure the
    hardware/firmware.
    
    A new BSS_CHANGED_MCAST_RATE is introduced in mac80211 to automatically
    inform all drivers. ath10k can detect this event and forward it via WMI to
    the driver. The already existing BSS_CHANGED_BASIC_RATES can be used to
    select the management rate.
    
    Without the WMI commands, a low rate (not necessarily one from the basic
    rates) is used for bcast/mcast/management frames. This means that the
    /etc/config/wireless settings basic_rate and mcast_rate would have no
    effect on the rates selected by this driver for the mentioned frames.
