45  * Interface definitions for transmit rate control modules for the
46  * Atheros driver.
47  *
48  * A rate control module is responsible for choosing the transmit rate
49  * for each data frame.  Management+control frames are always sent at
50  * a fixed rate.
51  *
52  * Only one module may be present at a time; the driver references
53  * rate control interfaces by symbol name.  If multiple modules are
54  * to be supported we'll need to switch to a registration-based scheme
55  * as is currently done, for example, for authentication modules.
56  *
57  * An instance of the rate control module is attached to each device
58  * at attach time and detached when the device is destroyed.  The module
59  * may associate data with each device and each node (station).  Both
60  * sets of storage are opaque except for the size of the per-node storage
61  * which must be provided when the module is attached.
62  *
63  * The rate control module is notified for each state transition and
64  * station association/reassociation.  Otherwise it is queried for a
65  * rate for each outgoing frame and provided status from each transmitted
66  * frame.  Any ancillary processing is the responsibility of the module
67  * (e.g. if periodic processing is required then the module should setup
68  * it's own timer).
69  *
70  * In addition to the transmit rate for each frame the module must also
71  * indicate the number of attempts to make at the specified rate.  If this
72  * number is != ATH_TXMAXTRY then an additional callback is made to setup
73  * additional transmit state.  The rate control code is assumed to write
74  * this additional data directly to the transmit descriptor.
