Subject: iwlwifi: mvm: rs: fallback to legacy Tx columns
From: Eyal Shapira <eyal@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit fd7dbee51b3d98402edb11fec0c93d96476e0ae1 upstream.
Allow switching back to legacy Tx columns so we'll stop doing
HT/VHT in case we're far from the AP. Stop active aggregation when
making a deciding to stay in a legacy column.
Despite having low legacy rates in the LQ table lower entries
it doesn't help much in case we're doing aggregations as the
aggregation was being transmitted in the initial rate of the table.
This should help traffic stalls when far from the AP.
