ath10k_mac_get_rate_flags_ht() floods dmesg with the following messages,
when it fails to find a match for mcs=7 and rate=1440.

supported_ht_mcs_rate_nss2:
{7,  {1300, 2700, 1444, 3000} }

ath10k_pci 0000:02:00.0: invalid ht params rate 1440 100kbps nss 2 mcs 7

dev_warn_ratelimited() isn't helping the noise. Use dev_warn_once()
instead.

The {7,  {1300, 2700, 1444, 3000} } is a correct value.
The 1440 is report from firmware, its a wrong value, it has fixed in 
firmware.
If change it to dev_warn_once, then it will have no chance to find the 
other wrong values which report by firmware, and it indicate
a wrong value to mac80211/cfg80211 and lead "iw wlan0 station dump" get 
a wrong bitrate.

In what version?

I agree, we should keep this warning. If the firmware still keeps
sending invalid rates we should add a specific check to ignore the known
invalid values, but not all of them.

Would it be helpful to adjust the default rate limits and set the to
a higher value instead. It might be difficult to account all possible
invalid values?

Something like, ath10k_warn_ratelimited() to adjust the

DEFAULT_RATELIMIT_INTERVAL and DEFAULT_RATELIMIT_BURST using
DEFINE_RATELIMIT_STATE

Let me know if you like this idea. I can send a patch in to do this.
I will hang on to this firmware version for a little but longer, so
we have a test case. :)

I would rather first try to fix the root cause, which is the firmware
sending invalid rates. Wen, you mentioned there's a fix in firmware. Do
you know which firmware version (and branch) has the fix?

Picking this back up. Wen, which firmware version has this fix? I can
test this on my system and get rid of the noisy messages. :)
