[PATCH 1/2] mac80211: minstrel_ht: pick only supported rates for sta and group max*rates

[Karl Beldan]

From: Karl Beldan <karl.beldan@rivierawaves.com>

minstrel_ht initializes max_tp_rate max_tp_rate2 and max_prob_rate to
zero both for minstrel_ht_sta and minstrel_mcs_group_data.
This is wrong since there is no guarantee that the 1st rate of any
group is supported.

[PATCH 2/2] mac80211: minstrel_ht: initialize rates selection

[Karl Beldan]

From: Karl Beldan <karl.beldan@rivierawaves.com>

Initialize {mp,mi}->{max_tp_rate,max_tp_rate2,max_prob_rate} in
minstrel_ht's rate_init and rate_update.
