[PATCH] mac80211: Parse IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_RATE on TX

[Rostislav Lisovy]

Add support for parsing radiotap field IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_RATE
for transmitted frames. Use the provided datarate value in
info->control.rates[] array so it will be used for transmission.

Signed-off-by: Rostislav Lisovy <rostislav.lisovy@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This feature is essential for Transmit Datarate Control (TDC)
in future implementation of IEEE 802.11-2012 "Wireless Access
for the Vehicular Environment" support.
