Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 3.18 02/13] mac80211: correct use of
 IEEE80211_VHT_CAP_RXSTBC_X

From: Danek Duvall <duvall@...fychair.org>

[ Upstream commit 67d1ba8a6dc83d90cd58b89fa6cbf9ae35a0cf7f ]

The mod mask for VHT capabilities intends to say that you can override
the number of STBC receive streams, and it does, but only by accident.
The IEEE80211_VHT_CAP_RXSTBC_X aren't bits to be set, but values (albeit
left-shifted).  ORing the bits together gets the right answer, but we
should use the _MASK macro here instead.
