43138570Ssam * Interface definitions for transmit rate control modules for the
44138570Ssam * Atheros driver.
45138570Ssam *
46138570Ssam * A rate control module is responsible for choosing the transmit rate
47138570Ssam * for each data frame.  Management+control frames are always sent at
48138570Ssam * a fixed rate.
49138570Ssam *
50138570Ssam * Only one module may be present at a time; the driver references
51138570Ssam * rate control interfaces by symbol name.  If multiple modules are
52138570Ssam * to be supported we'll need to switch to a registration-based scheme
53138570Ssam * as is currently done, for example, for authentication modules.
54138570Ssam *
55138570Ssam * An instance of the rate control module is attached to each device
56138570Ssam * at attach time and detached when the device is destroyed.  The module
57138570Ssam * may associate data with each device and each node (station).  Both
58138570Ssam * sets of storage are opaque except for the size of the per-node storage
59138570Ssam * which must be provided when the module is attached.
60138570Ssam *
61138570Ssam * The rate control module is notified for each state transition and
62138570Ssam * station association/reassociation.  Otherwise it is queried for a
63138570Ssam * rate for each outgoing frame and provided status from each transmitted
64138570Ssam * frame.  Any ancillary processing is the responsibility of the module
65138570Ssam * (e.g. if periodic processing is required then the module should setup
66138570Ssam * it's own timer).
67138570Ssam *
68138570Ssam * In addition to the transmit rate for each frame the module must also
69138570Ssam * indicate the number of attempts to make at the specified rate.  If this
70138570Ssam * number is != ATH_TXMAXTRY then an additional callback is made to setup
71138570Ssam * additional transmit state.  The rate control code is assumed to write
72138570Ssam * this additional data directly to the transmit descriptor.
