Subject: Re: [PATCH] ath9k_htc: add adaptive rate control to repair soft lockup
 with monitor mode

Looks good,

please just one note. Rename "rate control" to "usb flow control", or
some thing like this. In this context "rate control" has different meaning.

I'll run you patches on my system with different adapters.
