Found several threads about fixed rate mode in minstrel_ht for test
environments, but no patches for it.
This patch provides such a mode through debugfs.
---
support fixed rate processing per RC instance
- write static index to debugfs:ieee80211/phyX/rc/fixed_rate_idx
- write -1 to enable RC processing again
- setting will be applied on next update
The current MCS index mapping (with MINSTREL_MAX_STREAMS = 3) is
given by the minstrel_mcs_groups table as:
