Both were examples were the behavior of ath10k and ath10k-ct in OpenWrt were 
out of sync for a while. Both should now behave the same because Hauke/
Christian added them. But similar problems might happen in the future. Both
will hopefully find their way in the official ath10k driver (patchwork one 
is - I've tried to poke Kalle regarding the first one from PR 1862).


Regarding the second patch in PR 1862:

You should at least think about how to handle your private rate modification 
code. It conflicts with the official way to set the mgmt/mcast/bcast rates.
The second patch in the PR 1862 is just a workaround for this default
(mis)behavior of ath10k-ct. Maybe you have a different behavior in mind but
at least by default, it should not set an arbitrary mcast_rate for
meshpoint/ibss interfaces when the user specified something else via
OpenWrt's mcast_rate in /etc/config/wireless.

Kind regards,
