    LinuxKPI: 802.11: leave a comment for sta->rates (mt7615, ?)
    
    While we currently try to fill most rates places (e.g., basic_rates,
    supp_rates, (*set_bitrate_mask)), sta->rates are not populated.
    
    They are likely managed by the 802.11 rate control code (given no
    ieee80211_hw_check HAS_RATE_CONTROL), which for use would be net80211,
    which will require some extra code just to manage that.
    
    At least Mediatek mt76 (mt7615) driver seems to fall into the category
    of this need.  See about that once/if we get to it.
