Bitterblue Smith 66ef0289ac wifi: rtlwifi: rtl8821ae: Fix media status report
RTL8821AE is stuck transmitting at the lowest rate allowed by the rate
mask. This is because the firmware doesn't know the device is connected
to a network.

Fix the macros SET_H2CCMD_MSRRPT_PARM_OPMODE and
SET_H2CCMD_MSRRPT_PARM_MACID_IND to work on the first byte of __cmd,
not the second. Now the firmware is correctly notified when the device
is connected to a network and it activates the rate control.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
