Subject: [PATCH 4.2 089/124] ath10k: use stations current operating mode from assoc request

4.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Vivek Natarajan <nataraja@....qualcomm.com>

commit 72f8cef5d1155209561b01e092ce1a04ad50c4cb upstream.

The current number of spatial streams used by the client is advertised
as a separate IE in assoc request. Use this information to set
the NSS operating mode.

Fixes: 45c9abc059fa ("ath10k: implement more versatile set_bitrate_mask").
