Hello,

I have tried to upgrade my wireless AP (Raspberry Pi with rt2x00usb)
from v5.9 to the current mainline, but now it keeps crashing every hour
or so, basically making my wireless network unusable.

I have bisected this to:

     mac80211: call ieee80211_tx_h_rate_ctrl() when dequeue

With the previous commit the system stays up for weeks...

I just tried today's mainline, and it crashed after 10 minutes:
Please test if this patch fixes the issue:
