In some corner cases the reported tx rates/retries didn't match the really used ones. The hardware lowers the tx rate on each consecutive retry by 1 (but won't fall back from MCS to legacy rates) _until_ it reaches the lowest one. In case the frame wasn't sent succesful the number of retries is 7 and if a rate index <7 was used the previous code reported negative rate indexes which were then ignored by the rate control algorithm and mac80211. Instead, report the remaining number of retries to have happened with the lowest rate (index 0). This should give the rate control algorithm slightly more accurate information about the used tx rates/retries.
