+Subject: [PATCH] wifi: mac80211: fix mesh airtime link metric estimating
+
+ieee80211s_update_metric function uses sta_set_rate_info_tx
+function to get struct rate_info data from ieee80211_tx_rate
+struct, present in ieee80211_sta->deflink.tx_stats. However,
+drivers can skip tx rate calculation by setting rate idx as
+-1. Such drivers provides rate_info directly and hence
+ieee80211s metric is updated incorrectly since ieee80211_tx_rate
+has inconsistent data.
+
+Add fix to use rate_info directly if present instead of
+sta_set_rate_info_tx for updating ieee80211s metric.
