Series ath10k: Add support to update tx rate to mac80211 | expand

Commit Message

Current mac80211 has provision to update tx status through
ieee80211_tx_status() and ieee80211_tx_status_ext(). But
drivers like ath10k updates the tx status from the skb except
txrate, txrate will be updated from a different path, peer stats.

Using ieee80211_tx_status_ext() in two different paths
  - (one for the stats, one for the tx rate) will duplicate the stats.

To avoid this stats duplication, ieee80211_tx_rate_update() is implemented.

The function does nothing if pubsta is NULL; wouldn't it make more sense
to just mandate that it isn't NULL rather than have this check?

ATH10K driver always calls this function with a valid STA [not NULL].

Yeah, so why the check for non-NULL? :)

Agreed we can remove this check since ath10k driver calls 
ieee80211_tx_rate_update()
with a valid STA. This adds a sanity check to avoid NULL dereference on 
pubsta.

I will update the comments on ieee80211_tx_rate_update() and send RFCv4.
