Does it mean that the selection of antenna is not possible for this moment? Because if I look in the code of ath9k, there are 2 fonctions set_antenna and get_antenna in the structure: struct ieee80211_ops (file main.c) and that's why the out put of "iw list" for ath10k give me: Available Antennas:  TX0 RX0 and I can not select the antenna?

I'm not aware if that's possible.

fw_stats was broken for a long time due to some firmware ABI
differences. I'm not sure if this was finally fixed or no. See mailing
list archives for more details, please.

You're looking at the wrong enum. There are two vdev param enums:
wmi_vdev_param and wmi_10x_vdev_param.

I'm going to re-iterate - you can check rx bitrate on the other end to
verify your fixed rate setting. tx bitrate reporting is broken in
ath10k due to firmware deficiency.
