mwifiex: add NL80211_STA_INFO_RX_BITRATE support
Comparing the existing TX_BITRATE parsing code (in mwifiex_parse_htinfo()) with the RX bitrate histograms in debugfs.c, it appears that the rxpd_rate and rxpd_htinfo fields have the same format. At least, they give reasonable results when I parse them this way. So this patch adds support for RX_BITRATE to our station info dump. Along the way, I add legacy bitrate parsing into the same function, using the debugfs code (mwifiex_histogram_read() and mwifiex_adjust_data_rate()) as reference. Additionally, to satisfy the requirements of NL80211_STA_INFO_RX_BITRATE, I skip logging the bitrate of multicast packets. This shouldn't add a lot of overhead to the RX path, as there are already several similar 802.3 header checks in this same codepath. We can also bias the branch behavior to favor unicast, as that's the common performance-sensitive case. I'd consider this support somewhat experimental, as I have zero documentation from Marvell. But the existing driver code gives me good reason to think this is correct. I've tested this on a few different 802.11{a,b,g,n,ac} networks, and the reported bitrates look good to me.
