How it affects me as an user? IMHO "non-zero bitrate for MCS" doesn't
tell that much and is a bit confusing. I would prefer something like
this:

  wireless: report 802.11n bitrates through wext

  cfg80211 reports all MCS rates (from 802.11n) as zero. Fix it by
  moving nl80211__calculate_bitrate() to cfg80211 and using it also
  with MCS rates.

But maybe I'm just weird :)
