+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: minstrel: merge with minstrel_ht, always enable
+ VHT support
+
+Legacy-only devices are not very common and the overhead of the extra
+code for HT and VHT rates is not big enough to justify all those extra
+lines of code to make it optional.

+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: minstrel: reduce minstrel_mcs_groups size
+
+By storing a shift value for all duration values of a group, we can
+reduce precision by a neglegible amount to make it fit into a u16 value.
+This improves cache footprint and reduces size:
+
+Before:
+   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
+  10024     116       0   10140    279c rc80211_minstrel_ht.o
+
+After:
+   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
+   9368     116       0    9484    250c rc80211_minstrel_ht.o
