+From: Sebastian Gottschall <s.gottsch...@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
+v4: fix compile warning and truncate nss to maximum of 2x2 since current 
+chipsets only support 2x2 at vht160
+v5: handle maximum nss for chipsets supportig vht160 with 1x1 only
+v7: use more simple code variant and take care about hw/sw chainmask

+From: Sebastian Gottschall <s.gottschall@dd-wrt.com>
+
+starting with firmware 10.4.3.4.x series QCA changed the handling of the channel property band_center_freq1 and band_center_freq2 in vht160 operation mode
+likelly for backward compatiblity with vht80 only capable clients.
+this patch adjusts the handling to get vht160 to work again with official qca firmwares newer than 3.3
+consider that this patch will not work with older firmwares anymore. to avoid undefined behaviour this we disable vht160 capability for outdated firmwares
