The tx bitrate of "iw dev xxx station dump" always show an invalid value
"tx bitrate: 6.0MBit/s".

To address this issue, parse the tx complete report from firmware and
indicate the tx rate to mac80211.

After that, "iw dev xxx station dump" show the correct tx bitrate such as:
tx bitrate: 104.0 MBit/s MCS 13
tx bitrate: 144.4 MBit/s MCS 15 short GI
tx bitrate: 626.9 MBit/s 80MHz HE-MCS 6 HE-NSS 2 HE-GI 0 HE-DCM 0
tx bitrate: 1921.5 MBit/s 160MHz HE-MCS 9 HE-NSS 2 HE-GI 0 HE-DCM 0

Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI

Please use full englist words like transmit instead of tx. Also the
title could be simplified to:
wifi: ath12k: report station mode transmit rate to user space
Here I assumed this only works in station mode. Or does this also
support AP and P2P mode? The commit message should explain that.


Ok, i will apply it in next version. Thanks for pointing out.
After rereading my comments maybe keep the title simple like:
    wifi: ath12k: report station mode transmit rate
But it would be good to clarify in the commit message what modes
this is
supported. And what hardware families support this.

Hi kalle, Could you please offer your opinion on this commit message?

wifi: ath12k: report station mode transmit rate

Currently, the transmit rate of "iw dev xxx station dump" command
always show an invalid value.

To address this issue, ath12k parse the info of transmit complete
report from firmware and indicate the transmit rate to mac80211.

This patch only applies to the WCN7850's station mode.

After that, "iw dev xxx station dump" show the correct transmit rate.
Such as:
tx bitrate: 104.0 MBit/s MCS 13
tx bitrate: 144.4 MBit/s MCS 15 short GI tx bitrate: 626.9 MBit/s
80MHz HE-MCS 6 HE-NSS 2 HE-GI 0 HE-DCM 0 tx bitrate: 1921.5 MBit/s
160MHz HE-MCS 9 HE-NSS 2 HE-GI 0 HE-DCM 0

Looks good, except for readability I would add an empty line after "Such
as:".

I noticed that the signal patch depends on this patchset:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/patch/20240219111417.1185-1-quic_lingbok@xxxxxxxxxxx/

In that you should submit both patchses in same patchset. But please
wait until I have reviewed the signal strength patch.

Hi, kalle,

Would you mind if I kindly inquire whether you might have forgotten to review "wifi: ath12k: report signal for iw dev xxx station dump" patch?
After you review, I can put the two patches into the same patchset:)

Best regards
Lingbo Kong
