    wil6210: support set_multicast_to_unicast cfg80211 operation · 5e5f069c

    Wil6210 AP has a separate ring for transmitting multicast packets,
    multicast packets are transmitted without an ack from the receiver side.
    Therefore, 802.11 spec defines some low MCS rates for multicat packets.
    However, there is no guarantee that these packets were really received
    and handled on the client side.
    
    Some applications that rely on multicast packets, may prefer to
    transmit these packets as a unicast to ensure reliability, and also
    to ensure better performance with high MCS rates.
    multicast to unicast is done by duplicating multicast packets to all
    clients and changing the DA (multicast) to the MAC address of the
    client.
    see NL80211_CMD_SET_MULTICAST_TO_UNICAST for more info.
