   3 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: minstrel_ht: fix where rate stats are stored (fixes
   4  debugfs output)
   5
   6 Using an ath9k card the debugfs output of minstrel_ht looks like the following
   7 (note the zero values for the first four rates sum-of success/attempts):
   8
   9              best    ____________rate__________    ____statistics___    _____last____    ______sum-of________
  10 mode guard #  rate   [name   idx airtime  max_tp]  [avg(tp) avg(prob)]  [retry|suc|att]  [#success | #attempts]

  23 Debugging showed that the rate statistics for the first four rates where
  24 stored in the MINSTREL_CCK_GROUP instead of the MINSTREL_OFDM_GROUP because
  25 in minstrel_ht_get_stats() the supported check was not honoured as done in
  26 various other places, e.g net/mac80211/rc80211_minstrel_ht_debugfs.c:
  27
  28  74                 if (!(mi->supported[i] & BIT(j)))
  29  75                         continue;

  31 With the patch applied the output looks good:
  32
  33               best    ____________rate__________    ____statistics___    _____last____    ______sum-of________
  34 mode guard #  rate   [name   idx airtime  max_tp]  [avg(tp) avg(prob)]  [retry|suc|att]  [#success | #attempts]
