Then I guess I remember wrong and the comment was raised in another
thread. The problem we have is that once any rate control algorithm is
loaded, it will be default for any future drivers, which is often
inappropriate. Hence, it would be great if
hw->preferred_rate_control=3D=3DNULL would indicate "use default" where
"default" would be set to "simple" to start with but also changeable.
(although the change functionality could just be not usable from
userspace for now)
