It was found during testing the nss calculation does not
cover all corner cases. Station could request eq. only MCS8
and MCS9 (nss=2 specific). Next num_rates=2 so the driver
sets nss=(max((2+7)/8, 1))=1. Which is wrong. The in-driver
calculation was introduced prior (commit ddcc347b70
mac80211: fix rx_nss calculation for drivers with hw rc).
Since it's fixed, use mac80211 provided value from now.
End user will experience lower throuhputs than expected
if the nss is wrongly calculated.

ARP frames exchange does not work properly for UAPSD enabled AP.
ARP requests which arrives with access category 0 are processed
by network stack and send back with access category 0. FW changes
access category to 6. This is causing problems when UAPSD associated
STA is sleeping after has sent ARP request. Configure ARP access
category in FW to best effort (0) solves this problem. ARP frames
will be send with access category 0.
Simplify arp ac override functionality by removing redundant entry in
pdev param maping table. There should be only one entry in pdev param
map but enum has different name for different FW.

ath10k handles UAPSD completly in the firmware.
When works in AP mode we have to configure
UAPSD params for each station. Without this
patch we configure UAPSD params before we
send peer assoc command to the FW, which was
wrong. Next FW didn't know what should be trigger
frame, couse UAPSD didn't work correctly in AP mode.
To configure UAPSD params correctly we have to
send them after peer assoc command.

Recent WMI/HTC changes made it possible for WMI
commands to sleep (if there's not enough HTC TX
credits to submit a command). TX path is in an
atomic context so calling WMI commands in it is
wrong.
This simply moves WEP key index update to a worker
and fixes the 'scheduling while atomic' bug.
This still leaves multiple WEP key handling laggy,
i.e. some frames may be TXed with an old/different
key (although recipient should still be able to RX
them).
