Oh, so you do update the peer nss value here.

I think it might be a good idea to convey the limitation of tx/rx
chainmask to the user: you can't change the tx/rx chainmask on the fly
easily (while connected/have associated stations). Or do you plan to
schedule peer reassoc in __ath10k_set_antenna() in a follow up
patch(es) later?
