We can probably move his rate_control_rate_init() to assoc, since we have this:

/*
* TDLS -- everything follows authorized, but
* only becoming authorized is possible, not
* going back
*/
if (set & BIT(NL80211_STA_FLAG_AUTHORIZED)) {
set |= BIT(NL80211_STA_FLAG_AUTHENTICATED) |
      BIT(NL80211_STA_FLAG_ASSOCIATED);
mask |= BIT(NL80211_STA_FLAG_AUTHENTICATED) |
BIT(NL80211_STA_FLAG_ASSOCIATED);
}
