I already check with firmware on this regard. Below is the clarification
got from fw team. So no need to go through sta_iter.

"3) how does fixed rate work for non-LDPC clients (ex. legacy clients),
if LDPC support is enabled for the given vdev?
The rates are selected by ANDng the vdev_rates and client rates. If client does not
support LDPC and LDPC is enabled in vdev then, LDPC will not be used."
