Subject[PATCH v3] mac80211: mesh: Add support for HW RC implementation
Date
Mesh HWMP module will be able to rely on the HW
RC algorithm if it exists, for path metric calculations.

This allows the metric calculation mechanism to calculate
a correct metric, based on PER and last TX rate both via
HW RC algorithm if it exists or via parameters collected
by the SW.

1. Added DIV_ROUND_UP to protect from rate < 100Kbps
2. Removed redudant initialization
