Subject: [PATCH 4.20 222/352] iwlwifi: mvm: fix setting HE ppe FW config

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

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

[ Upstream commit 189b8d441b0f7825f0b4278851c52afaa0515ed2 ]

The FW expects to get the ppe value for each NSS-BW pair in the same
format as in the he phy capabilities IE, which means that a value of 0
implies ppe should be used for BPSK (mcs 0). If there are no PPE
thresholds in the IE, or if for some NSS-RU pair there's no threshold
set for it (this could happen because it's a variable-sized field), it
means no PPE should not be used for that pair, so the value sent to FW
should be 7 which corresponds to "none".
