If no mcast_rate is set for the wifi-iface then there is no rate_idx (0)
set for the bss. This breaks for example 5GHz meshpoint interfaces because
0 maps to a CCK rate (11Mbit/s).
It must also be avoided that the ath10k-ct internal state for the rates is
not synced with the mac80211 rates state. Otherwise, the user specified
rate (e.g. a wifi-iface mcast_rate for a meshpoint interface) will only be
set on startup. And a short while after that, ath10k-ct specific code in
ath10k_check_apply_special_rates is missing a valid rate in its own
structures and is then recalculating a new default rate. This default rate
is in most situations not the requested rate.

+Subject: ath10k: fix incorrect multicast/broadcast rate setting
|
|
+
|
|
+Invalid rate code is sent to firmware when multicast rate value of 0 is
|
|
+sent to driver indicating disabled case, causing broken mesh path.
|
|
+so fix that.
|
|
+
|
|
+Tested on QCA9984 with firmware 10.4-3.6.1-00827
