[PATCH v2 0/4] add VHT support to minstrel_ht

[Karl Beldan]

From: Karl Beldan <karl.beldan-***@public.gmane.org>

Hi,

This is a split version of the VHT support addition to minstrel.
Thanks for reviewing,

Karl Beldan (4):
mac80211: minstrel_ht: Increase the range of handled rate indexes
mac80211: minstrel_ht: macros adjustments for future VHT_GROUPs
mac80211: minstrel_ht: include type (cck/ht) in rates flag
mac80211: minstrel_ht: add basic support for VHT rates <= ***@80MHz
v2:
- typo in Kconfig
- adjust room in debugfs rc_stats buffer
- add a module param to mix ht rates with vht ones
- default to 3SS instead of 2SS (with "mac80211: minstrel_ht: macros
adjustments for future VHT_GROUPs")
- use common MINSTREL_MAX_STREAMS both for VHT and HT so that we can get
rid of the 'MINSTREL_MAX_STREAMS >= 3' checks for minstrel_mcs_groups

Since 5935839ad735 ("mac80211: improve minstrel_ht rate sorting by
throughput & probability"), the rate indexes are manipulated via u8's
and hence allow for a maximum of 256 mcs_group entries in
minstrel_mcs_groups.

ATM, minstrel_ht advertizes support up to ***@40MHz, consuming:
8(MCS_GROUP_RATES) * (3(SS)*2(GI)*2(BW)+1(CCK)), i.e. 104 entries.

Support for ***@80MHz will require:
10(MCS_GROUP_RATES) * (3(SS)*2(GI)*2(BW)+1(CCK)) +
10(MCS_GROUP_RATES) * (3(SS)*2(GI)*3(BW)), i.e. 130 + 180 entries.

This change moves from u8s to u16s where necessary.
