[PATCH] mwifiex: don not update MCS set from hostapd

[PATCH] mwifiex: don not update MCS set from hostapd

[Ganapathi Bhat]

We should not copy the MCS set from hostapd RX-STBC. We
have to just use the MCS set supported by the hardware.
This fixes an issue, where mwifiex is advertising wrong
MCS sets in beacons.

Fixes: 474a41e94 ("mwifiex: update MCS set as per RX-STBC bit from hostapd")
