[ Upstream commit 5c6dd7bd569b54c0d2904125d7366aa93f077f67 ]
Using an ath9k card the debugfs output of minstrel_ht looks like the following
(note the zero values for the first four rates sum-of success/attempts):
best ____________rate__________ ____statistics___ _____last____ ______sum-of________
mode guard # rate [name idx airtime max_tp] [avg(tp) avg(prob)] [retry|suc|att] [#success | #attempts]

Debugging showed that the rate statistics for the first four rates where
stored in the MINSTREL_CCK_GROUP instead of the MINSTREL_OFDM_GROUP because
in minstrel_ht_get_stats() the supported check was not honoured as done in
various other places, e.g net/mac80211/rc80211_minstrel_ht_debugfs.c:
74 if (!(mi->supported[i] & BIT(j)))
75 continue;
With the patch applied the output looks good:
best ____________rate__________ ____statistics___ _____last____ ______sum-of________
mode guard # rate [name idx airtime max_tp] [avg(tp) avg(prob)] [retry|suc|att] [#success | #attempts]

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
