Rameshkumar Sundaram 57b341e9ab wifi: mac80211: Allow NSS change only up to capability
Stations can update bandwidth/NSS change in
VHT action frame with action type Operating Mode Notification.
(IEEE Std 802.11-2020 - 9.4.1.53 Operating Mode field)

For Operating Mode Notification, an RX NSS change to a value
greater than AP's maximum NSS should not be allowed.
During fuzz testing, by forcefully sending VHT Op. mode notif.
frames from STA with random rx_nss values, it is found that AP
accepts rx_nss values greater that APs maximum NSS instead of
discarding such NSS change.

Hence allow NSS change only up to maximum NSS that is negotiated
and capped to AP's capability during association.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
