I searched all the folder wireless, I only found 5 places have the 
handler of rate_init below,
and the functions are all empty. Is it means no driver support rate_init 
currently?
drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rc.c:304:     .rate_init = 
rtl_rate_init,
drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/rs.c:4098:  .rate_init = 
rs_rate_init_ops,
drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/dvm/rs.c:3276:  .rate_init = 
rs_rate_init_stub,
drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlegacy/4965-rs.c:2779: .rate_init = 
il4965_rs_rate_init_stub,
drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlegacy/3945-rs.c:867: .rate_init = 
il3945_rs_rate_init_stub,
[...]
