mac80211: Parse legacy and HT rate in injected frames 

Drivers/devices without their own rate control algorithm can get the
information what rates they should use from either the radiotap header of
injected frames or from the rate control algorithm. But the parsing of the
legacy rate information from the radiotap header was removed in commit
e6a9854b05 ("mac80211/drivers: rewrite the rate control API").

The removal of this feature heavily reduced the usefulness of frame
injection when wanting to simulate specific transmission behavior. Having
rate parsing together with MCS rates and retry support allows a fine
grained selection of the tx behavior of injected frames for these kind of
tests.

@ -28,6 +28,23 @@ radiotap headers and used to control injection:
IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_F_TX_NOACK: frame should be sent without waiting for
an ACK even if it is a unicast frame
* IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_RATE
legacy rate for the transmission (only for devices without own rate control)
* IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_MCS
HT rate for the transmission (only for devices without own rate control).
Also some flags are parsed
IEEE80211_TX_RC_SHORT_GI: use short guard interval
IEEE80211_TX_RC_40_MHZ_WIDTH: send in HT40 mode
* IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_DATA_RETRIES
number of retries when either IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_RATE or
IEEE80211_RADIOTAP_MCS was used
The injection code can also skip all other currently defined radiotap fields
facilitating replay of captured radiotap headers directly.
