Yes they are.  My patch¹ was fixing the same problem with rate
adaptation, but I only handled the case of successful transmission.
Timo's patch fixes rate reporting for both successful and failed
transmissions, which, in the in-kernel perfect/broken link simulation
is all that we need.
I would recommend you ignore my patch and take Timo's.

As for the in-userspace case, the driver is giving the userspace
daemon (e.g. wmediumd) control over which rates to report (see
hwsim_tx_info_frame_received_nl() for details).

Cheers,

Javier
