Create a constant array with the values of the "phy->signal" for every
rate. Remove all "phy->signal" assignments inside the switch statement
and replace these with a single reading from the new vnt_phy_signal
array.

Actually you don't need the second values

Great.

+static const u8 vnt_phy_signal[][2] = {
+ {0x00, 0x00}, /* RATE_1M */
The driver would never attempt use preamble at this rate
so it's safe to include in with the next 3 rates
Sorry got this wrong the driver is trying to do preamble (short)
at this rate and it is not working.

So don't apply it to RATE_1M rate.
