nl80211 currently does not offer a way to set the MCS rate manually.
Patches for this would be greatly welcomed though. However keep in
mind this is quite a bit of work through a generic interface as
no mac80211 generic rate control algorithm currently supports
MCS rates.

A simpler and quicker solution for now, if can't invest much time
into this, is to add a debugfs file entry for statically setting
the bitrate to an MCS rate only for ath9k on ath9k/debugfs.c

Not yet, cfg80211/nl80211 need a bit of work for this to be done.
