commit 66ef0289ac99e155d206ddaa0fdfad09ae3cd007 upstream.
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.
