yeah... in fact the _correct_ value according to otus is 0 (unrestricted),
however that's a bit hard to believe... and ath9k's (not the same
mac... I know) default works rather well.
[I see about 65 Mbits sustainable throughput and peaks in the lower 80.]

well, there should be a table or some bits in phy_control for this purpose...
But it looks like otus only has this single MAC knob and the safest setting
otus allows is 7 = 8us... 

of course it would be nice if ieee80211_bss_ht_conf in bss_conf, could be
replaced by ieee80211_sta_ht_cap which has the necessary elements.

after all this chip was designed as a client adapter, so there's no need 
to handle multiple a-mpdu density at the same time...
