Subject: [PATCH v3 0/9] replace minstrel with minstrel_ht
Date:   Fri, 15 Jan 2021 13:02:33 +0100

The legacy minstrel code is essentially unmaintained and receives only very
little testing. In order to bring the significant algorithm improvements from
minstrel_ht to legacy clients, this patch adds support for OFDM rates to
minstrel_ht and removes the fallback to the legacy codepath.
This also makes it work much better on hardware with rate selection constraints,
e.g. mt76.

Changes in v3:
- add cover letter
- fix uninitialized stack variable
- add extra patch to fix significant rounding error in tpt calculation

Changes in v2:
- fix using legacy-rates overhead in tpt calculation
