Your other patch named this _TOTAL, can you rename it to _BITRATE
instead?

Put the else on the same line as the closing brace, please.

That has to go.

And on your second patch:

I don't think this gives correct results for MCS rates 32 through 76,
does it? It should at least not calculate anything then. If we did it in
userspace then programs could also actually calculate the correct rate
as a float, rather than this approximation. Not that it'll matter, I
guess. Doesn't anybody know how to do the actual calculation?
