The number of spatial streams used when acting as a beamformee in VHT
mode are reported by the firmware as 7 (8 sts - 1) both in IPQ6018 and
IPQ8074 which respectively have 2 and 4 sts each. So the firmware should
report 1 (2 - 1) and 3 (4 - 1).
Fix this by checking that the number of VHT beamformee sts reported by
the firmware is not greater than the number of receiving antennas - 1.
The fix is based on the same approach used in this same function for
sanitizing the number of sounding dimensions reported by the firmware.
Without this change, acting as a beamformee in VHT mode is not working
properly.

Tested-on: IPQ8074 hw2.0 AHB WLAN.HK.2.5.0.1-01208-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1

I am not sure if you noticed, that when you do uplink heavy tests on AX, in the current state uplink power is grossly fluctuating reported by the driver, while the RF environment is static. I am not sure if this issue with BF will fix it, but sure it sounds plausible. It is also unknown how the driver calculates RX power per client: does it uses some sort of reference signal, or the calculated power depends on traffic volume?

Hi Csaba, Yes I noticed the same issue in heavy iperf3 uplink tests. But that was happening to me with firmware 2.4, now with 2.5 and the latest board-2.bin it works like a charm. Maybe you need some more patches in ath11k? I am using a combination of upstream patches from recent kernels and some qca patches. If you want, we can discuss the topic outside the mailing list to not spam other people.
