From 9d13950acb2a51342c93c69f1a5bf285adb90d88 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Yu Zhang(Yuriy)" Date: Fri, 24 Jan 2025 15:59:53 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] wifi: ath11k: fix wrong overriding for VHT Beamformee STS Capability MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Current code in ath11k_mac_set_txbf_conf overrides nsts, which is incorrect as it confuses nss and nsts. nss is Number of Spatial Streams，nsts is Number of Space-Time Streams. As mentioned in Fixes: 55b5ee3357d7, the nss used when acting as a beamformee in VHT mode should be reported by the firmware and should not be greater than the number of receiving antennas - 1. The num_rx_chains related nss rather than nsts. If STBC is enabled, nsts is greater than nss. About nss are mapped to nsts, refer to IEEE Std 802.11-2020: 19.3.11.9.2 Space-time block coding (STBC), Table 19-18—Constellation mapper output to spatial mapper input for STBC. Remove wrong overriding for nsts of VHT Beamformee STS Capability, acting DL MU-MIMO in VHT mode is working properly.
