mac80211: minstrel_ht: fix where rate stats are stored (fixes debugfs output)
[ Upstream commit 5c6dd7bd569b54c0d2904125d7366aa93f077f67 ]
Using an ath9k card the debugfs output of minstrel_ht looks like the following
(note the zero values for the first four rates sum-of success/attempts):
best ____________rate__________ ____statistics___ _____last____ ______sum-of________
mode guard # rate [name idx airtime max_tp] [avg(tp) avg(prob)] [retry|suc|att] [#success | #attempts]

Total packet count:: ideal 16582 lookaround 885
Average # of aggregated frames per A-MPDU: 1.0
Debugging showed that the rate statistics for the first four rates where
stored in the MINSTREL_CCK_GROUP instead of the MINSTREL_OFDM_GROUP because
in minstrel_ht_get_stats() the supported check was not honoured as done in
various other places, e.g net/mac80211/rc80211_minstrel_ht_debugfs.c:
74 if (!(mi->supported[i] & BIT(j)))
75 continue;
With the patch applied the output looks good:
best ____________rate__________ ____statistics___ _____last____ ______sum-of________
mode guard # rate [name idx airtime max_tp] [avg(tp) avg(prob)] [retry|suc|att] [#success | #attempts]
