10.2.4 firmware branch (used in QCA988X) does not support
HTT_10_4_T2H_MSG_TYPE_PEER_STATS and that's why ath10k does not provide
tranmission rate statistics to user space, instead it just shows
hardcoded 6 Mbit/s. But pktlog firmware facility provides per peer tx
statistics. The firmware sends one pktlog event for every four
PPDUs per peer, which include:
* successful number of packets and bytes transmitted
* number of packets and bytes dropped
* retried number of packets and bytes
* rate info per ppdu
Firmware supports WMI_SERVICE_PEER_STATS, pktlog is enabled through
ATH10K_FLAG_PEER_STATS, which is nowadays enabled by default in ath10k.
This patch does not impact throughput.
Tested on QCA9880 with firmware version 10.2.4.70.48. This should also
work with firmware branch 10.2.4-1.0-00029
Parse peer stats from pktlog packets and update the tx rate information
per STA. This way user space can query about transmit rate with iw:

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
