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 e6a9854b ("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.
