    carl9170: add support for the new rate control API · 9ad86ed3
    Christian Lamparter authored
    With the new rate control API, the driver can now apply the
    tx rate to outgoing frames just before they are uploaded to
    the device. This is important because the rate control can
    now react to fading or improving links a bit sooner.
    
    Also, the driver no longer needs to sort the outgoing frames
    for sample attempts (which affected the size of A-MPDUs and
    the throughput of the link). For aggregated data frames, the
    driver (and rate control) needs only to calculate and apply
    a single set of tx rates to every subframe of the whole
    aggregate.
