From: Chris Chiu <chris.chiu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Since AMPDU_AGGREGATION is set so packets will be handed to the
driver with a flag indicating A-MPDU aggregation and device should
be responsible for setting up and starting the TX aggregation with
the AMPDU_TX_START action. The TX aggregation is usually started by
the rate control algorithm so the HAS_RATE_CONTROL has to be unset
for the mac80211 to start BA session by ieee80211_start_tx_ba_session.
The realtek chips tx rate will still be handled by the rate adaptive
mechanism in the underlying firmware which is controlled by the
rate mask H2C command in the driver. Unset HAS_RATE_CONTROL cause
no change for the tx rate control and the TX BA session can be started
by the mac80211 default rate control mechanism.
