This patch adds the new struct ieee80211_rate_status and replaces
'struct rate_info *rate' in ieee80211_tx_status with pointer and length
annotation.
The struct ieee80211_rate_status allows to:
(1) receive tx power status feedback for transmit power control (TPC)
per packet or packet retry
(2) dynamic mapping of wifi chip specific multi-rate retry (mrr)
chains with different lengths
(3) increase the limit of annotatable rate indices to support
IEEE802.11ac rate sets and beyond
ieee80211_tx_info, control and status buffer, and ieee80211_tx_rate
cannot be used to achieve these goals due to fixed size limitations.
Our new struct contains a struct rate_info to annotate the rate that was
used, retry count of the rate and tx power. It is intended for all
information related to RC and TPC that needs to be passed from driver to
mac80211 and its RC/TPC algorithms like Minstrel_HT. It corresponds to
one stage in an mrr. Multiple subsequent instances of this struct can be
included in struct ieee80211_tx_status via a pointer and a length variable.
Those instances can be allocated on-stack. The former reference to a single
instance of struct rate_info is replaced with our new annotation.
Further mandatory changes in status.c and mt76 driver due to the
removal of 'struct rate_info *rate' are also included.
status.c already uses the information in ieee80211_tx_status->rate in
radiotap, this is now changed to use ieee80211_rate_status->rate_idx.
mt76 driver already uses struct rate_info to pass the tx rate to status
path. It is now enclosed in an instance of struct ieee80211_rate_status
with default values for retry_count and tx_power. The latter should be
adjusted later to pass more accurate values.
Compile-Tested: current wireless-next tree with all flags on
Tested-on: Xiaomi 4A Gigabit (MediaTek MT7603E, MT7612E) with OpenWrt
Linux 5.10.83
