This is now deprecated and unused within mac80211, so time
to remove it as otherwise we'd be doing some unecessary
computations for nothing.

- * Theory for reporting quality:
- *
- * At a hardware RSSI of 45 you will be able to use MCS 7 reliably.
- * At a hardware RSSI of 45 you will be able to use MCS 15 reliably.
- * At a hardware RSSI of 35 you should be able use 54 Mbps reliably.
- *
- * MCS 7 is the highets MCS index usable by a 1-stream device.
- * MCS 15 is the highest MCS index usable by a 2-stream device.
- *
- * All ath9k devices are either 1-stream or 2-stream.
- *
- * How many bars you see is derived from the qual reporting.
- *
- * A more elaborate scheme can be used here but it requires tables
- * of SNR/throughput for each possible mode used. For the MCS table
- * you can refer to the wireless wiki:
