[PATCH v3] ath10k: fix crash in recent 3.5.3 9984 firmware due wrong handling of peer_bw_rxnss_override parameter

From: Sebastian Gottschall <s.gottschall at dd-wrt.com>
current handling of peer_bw_rxnss_override parameter is based on guessing the VHT160/8080 capability by rx rate. this is wrong and may lead
to a non initialized peer_bw_rxnss_override parameter which is required since VHT160 operation mode only supports 2x2 chainmasks in addition the original code
initialized the parameter with wrong masked values.
This patch uses the peer phymode and peer nss information for correct initialisation of the peer_bw_rxnss_override parameter.
if this peer information is not available, we initialize the parameter by minimum nss which is suggested by QCA as temporary workaround according
to the QCA sourcecodes.

v2: remove debug messages
v3: apply some cosmetics, update documentation
