VHT 160Mhz and nss related config.

So, it appears that the ath10k QCA9984 4x4 160Mhz chip can do 4x4 MIMO at VHT80, but
it can do only 2x2 MIMO at VHT160/80+80.

When configuring a peer, we need to tell the firmware the number of spatial streams
of the peer at VHT160 and at VHT80 and lower.  They are not the same value.

I cannot think of any standard way to get this information based on VHT capabilities
and such.  Currently, one could just assume VHT160 NSS is 1/2 of the VHT80 NSS,
but that is unlikely to be true for all vendors.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ben
