Apply the patch already? IIRC James made a pretty good one around that
time to let the driver choose a default name as part of the hw structure
it registers and it can be NULL for the default.

Of course, in a perfect world we'd have a 'default' rate control setting
somewhere and apply that for drivers that have rate_control==NULL, while
default would default to 'simple' to avoid the issue above.

I'd really like to see that in the patch. Seems to be a real issue.

Except that we have no API for that (should be in cfg80211.)
