mac80211: minstrel_ht: add basic support for VHT rates <= 3SS@80MHz
When the new CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_MINSTREL_VHT is not set (default 'N'),
there is no behavioral change including in sampling and MCS_GROUP_RATES
remains 8.
Otherwise MCS_GROUP_RATES is 10, and a module parameter *vht_only*
(default 'true'), restricts the rates selection to VHT when VHT is
supported.
Regarding the debugfs stats buffer:
It is explicitly increased from 8k to 32k to fit every rates incl. when
both HT and VHT rates are enabled, as for the format, before:
type rate tpt eprob *prob ret *ok(*cum) ok( cum)
HT20/LGI ABCDP MCS0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1 0( 0) 0( 0)
after:
type rate tpt eprob *prob ret *ok(*cum) ok( cum)
HT20/LGI ABCDP MCS0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1 0( 0) 0( 0)
VHT40/LGI MCS5/2 0.0 0.0 0.0 0 0( 0) 0( 0)
