Subject: rc80211-pid: fix rate adjustment
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b7c50de92e1b54fa4a9a2ee436b16ead3ee31767;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

rc80211-pid: fix rate adjustment

Merge rate_control_pid_shift_adjust() to rate_control_pid_adjust_rate()
in order to make the learning algorithm aware of constraints on rates. Also
add some comments and rename variables.

This fixes a bug which prevented 802.11b/g non-AP STAs from working with
802.11b only AP STAs.
