[RFC 0/4] mac80211: define VHT rate mask logic

[RFC 0/4] mac80211: define VHT rate mask logic

[Lorenzo Bianconi]

Add support to mask vht rates using ratemask configured by the user through
iw command (e.g. iw dev wlan0 set bitrates vht-mcs-5 2:2,4).
Remove ieee80211_tx_rate dependency in rate mask code in order to use
mcs/legacy rate mask logic for station rate table as well.
This patchset has been tested using mac80211/mt76 driver on
Buffalo WHR-1166D router running OpenWrt trunk

mt76 is an out of the tree driver, included only in OpenWrt.

Maybe OpenWrt people should begin sending code to upstream,
because their tree [1] is full of patches [2] .

[1] http://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt.git
[2] target/linux/* (target/linux/generic/patches-* specifically)
    and package/kernel/* (package/kernel/mac80211/* for wireless)

my router is a Buffalo WHR-1166D and AFAIK mt76 is the only open
source driver for mt7612 chipset

OpenWrt trunk runs compat-wireless-2015-07-21, so more or less
wireless-testing HEAD. Moreover I ported the patchset to mac80211-next
tree
