SubjectRe: [RFC PATCH v3] rtl8xxxu: Improve TX performance of RTL8723BU on rtl8xxxu driver
Hi Chris,

I think you can be a bit more explicit by saying e.g.:

Only one virtual interface permitted because only STA mode is
supported and no iface_combinations are provided.

I think ratr_index can be moved to be a function parameter of the
update_rate_mask function. It looks like all callsites already know
which value they want to set. Then you don't have to store it in the
priv structure.

rtl8xxxu_remove_interface should also set priv->vif back to NULL.

Given that the work was started in rtl8xxxu_start, I think it should
be cancelled in rtl8xxxu_stop() instead.
