If you think it is unsuitable do you mind elaborating what this setting is 
for? As far as I can tell minstrel_ht is the only rate control algorithm that 
decides to be smarter than the user configuring the device. Without mentioning 
this anywhere! IMHO it should be minstrel_ht explaining why this makes sense, 
not the other way round.
