IBSS mode is now supported by CT firmware.

[Yeoh Chun-Yeow]

For CT firmware, IBSS mode works, but again the Rate Control in HT20
mode is not working at all. It always stuck with 6Mbps Tx Rate.

[  196.030000] ath10k_pci 0000:00:00.0: rx skb 869a5840 len 116 peer
04:f0:21:0c:a5:44  ucast sn 95  rate_idx 0 vht_nss 0 freq 5180 band 1
flag 0x200000 fcs-err 0 mic-err 0 amsdu-more 0

For legacy mode, rate control works. rate_idx to 7 or 54Mbps.

[  156.070000] ath10k_pci 0000:00:00.0: rx skb 86af0900 len 116 peer
04:f0:21:0c:a5:1c  ucast sn 95  rate_idx 7 vht_nss 0 freq 5180 band 1
flag 0x200000 fcs-err 0 mic-err 0 amsdu-more 0

Similar to 636 firmware.
