Subject: [PATCH 1/4] wifi: mac80211: factor out part of ieee80211_calc_expected_tx_airtime
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 10:19:51 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260323101954.874299-1-nbd@nbd.name> (raw)

Create ieee80211_rate_expected_tx_airtime helper function, which returns
the expected tx airtime for a given rate and packet length in units of
1024 usec, for more accuracy.
