     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  * its 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.
