Subject: [PATCH 5.16] mac80211: fix rate control for retransmitted frames
Date:   Mon, 22 Nov 2021 21:43:23 +0100
Message-Id: <20211122204323.9787-1-nbd@nbd.name>

Since retransmission clears info->control, rate control needs to be called
again, otherwise the driver might crash due to invalid rates.
