rsi: fix rate mask set leading to P2P failure
P2P client mode was only working the first time. On subsequent connection attempts the group was successfully created but no data was sent (no transmitted data packets were seen with a sniffer). The reason for this was that the hardware was being configured in fixed rate mode with rate RSI_RATE_1 (1Mbps) which is not valid in the 5GHz band. In P2P mode wpa_supplicant uses NL80211_CMD_SET_TX_BITRATE_MASK to disallow the 11b rates in the 2.4GHz band which updated common->fixedrate_mask. rsi_set_min_rate() then used the fixedrate_mask to calculate the minimum allowed rate, or 0xffff = auto if none was found. However that calculation did not account for the different rate sets allowed in the different bands leading to the error. Fixing set_min_rate() would result in 6Mb/s being used all the time which is not what we want either. The reason the problem did not occur on the first connection is that rsi_mac80211_set_rate_mask() only updated the fixedrate_mask for the *current* band. When it was called that was still 2.4GHz as the switch is done later. So the when set_min_rate() was subsequently called after the switch to 5GHz it still had a mask of zero, leading to defaulting to auto mode. Fix this by differentiating the case of a single rate being requested, in which case the hardware will be used in fixed rate mode with just that rate, and multiple rates being requested, in which case we remain in auto mode but the firmware rate selection algorithm is configured with a restricted set of rates.
