mac80211: restrict assoc request VHT capabilities
In interoperability testing some APs showed bad behaviour if some of the VHT capabilities of the station are better than their own. Restrict the assoc request parameters - beamformee capabable, - RX STBC and - RX MCS set to the subset that the AP can support. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
