Anyone have a working hostapd conf file for AC?

I would suggest to expand the vht capabs in the hostapd config, at least like:
vht_capab=[MAX-MPDU-11454][SHORT-GI-80][MAX-A-MPDU-LEN-EXP0]

MAX-A-MPDU-LEN-EXP0 is translated in hostapd to
VHT_CAP_MAX_A_MPDU_LENGTH_EXPONENT
(I think it should be EXP7 actually there, I was going to send a patch
some time ago for this)

Without this I also got no more than ~200Mbps in ath10k-AP RX.
