Hi kalle, Could you please offer your opinion on this commit message?

wifi: ath12k: report station mode transmit rate

Currently, the transmit rate of "iw dev xxx station dump" command always 
show an invalid value.

To address this issue, ath12k parse the info of transmit complete report 
from firmware and indicate the transmit rate to mac80211.

This patch only applies to the WCN7850's station mode.

After that, "iw dev xxx station dump" show the correct transmit rate.
Such as:
tx bitrate: 104.0 MBit/s MCS 13
tx bitrate: 144.4 MBit/s MCS 15 short GI tx bitrate: 626.9 MBit/s
80MHz HE-MCS 6 HE-NSS 2 HE-GI 0 HE-DCM 0 tx bitrate: 1921.5 MBit/s 
160MHz HE-MCS 9 HE-NSS 2 HE-GI 0 HE-DCM 0
