Felix Fietkau 3a12c6679e mac80211: replace legacy minstrel with minstrel_ht, improve rate selection
Legacy minstrel is essentially unmaintained and was showing poor performance
Replace it with minstrel_ht and improve rate selection and sampling behavior

Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: minstrel_ht: improve ampdu length estimation
If the driver does not report A-MPDU length, estimate it based on the rate.
