Subject: [PATCH v2] mac80211: notify driver for change in multicast rates
Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2018 16:54:50 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1521676490-25366-1-git-send-email-pradeepc@codeaurora.org> (raw)

It is required to pass the rate information to driver/firmware
when rate control is offloaded to firmware. This helps in changing
multicast traffic rates thereby improving the network performance.
