[PATCH] mac80211: fix incorrect nss config

[Thiraviyam Mariyappan]

In HE capabilities, HE-MCS Rx map field filled with value 0x3 for all eight
spatial streams if txrx chains configured as incorrect value.
This patch changes configure at least single spatial stream for HE-MCS
0 to 7 in all supported channel widths if nss configured as incorrect
value.

Like so many other workarounds, this should probably come with a comment
as to _why_ we're doing this, ideally including the model/firmware
version ...
