> Subject: [PATCH v3] wifi: rtl8xxxu: update rate mask per sta
> 
> Until now, rtl8xxxu_watchdog_callback() only fetches RSSI and updates
> the rate mask in station mode. This means, in AP mode only the default
> rate mask is used.
> 
> In order to have the rate mask reflect the actual connection quality,
> extend rtl8xxxu_watchdog_callback() to iterate over every sta. Like in
> the rtw88 driver, add a function to collect all currently present stas
> and then iterate over a list of copies to ensure no RCU lock problems
> for register access via USB. Remove the existing RCU lock in
> rtl8xxxu_refresh_rate_mask().
> 
> Since the currently used ieee80211_ave_rssi() is only for 'vif', add
> driver-level tracking of RSSI per sta.
