/**
* DOC: TX/RX NSS and chain configurations
* This document describes all of the attributes used in the vendor command
* QCA_NL80211_VENDOR_SUBCMD_SET_WIFI_CONFIGURATION to configure the number of
* spatial streams (NSS) and the number of chains used for transmitting (TX) and
* receiving (RX) the data.
*
* Global NSS configuration - Applies to all bands (2.4 GHz and 5/6 GHz)
* The following attributes are used to dynamically configure the number of
* spatial streams to be used for transmitting or receiving the data in the
* 2.4 GHz and 5/6 GHz bands. When configured in disconnected state, the
* updated configuration will be considered for the immediately following
* connection attempt. If the NSS is updated during a connection, the updated
* NSS value is notified to the peer using operating mode notification/spatial
* multiplexing power save frame. The updated NSS value after the connection
* shall not be greater than the one negotiated during the connection. The
* driver rejects any such higher value configuration with a failure.
*
* @QCA_WLAN_VENDOR_ATTR_CONFIG_NSS: Only symmetric NSS configuration
* (such as 2X2 or 1X1) can be done using this attribute.
* @QCA_WLAN_VENDOR_ATTR_CONFIG_TX_NSS: Configure NSS for transmitting the data
* @QCA_WLAN_VENDOR_ATTR_CONFIG_RX_NSS: Configure NSS for receiving the data
*
* The QCA_WLAN_VENDOR_ATTR_CONFIG_TX_NSS and QCA_WLAN_VENDOR_ATTR_CONFIG_RX_NSS
* attributes must be defined together or the driver will reject the command
* with a failure. They can be used to configure either symmetric NSS
* configuration (such as 2X2 or 1X1) or asymmetric configuration (such as 1X2).
*
* Global chain configuration - Applies to all bands (2.4 GHz and 5/6 GHz)
* The following attributes are used to dynamically configure the number of
* chains to be used for transmitting or receiving the data in the 2.4 GHz and
* 5/6 GHz bands. This configuration is allowed only when in connected state
* and will be effective until disconnected. The driver rejects this
* configuration if the number of spatial streams being used in the current
* connection cannot be supported by this configuration.
*
* @QCA_WLAN_VENDOR_ATTR_CONFIG_NUM_TX_CHAINS: The number of chains to be used
* for transmitting the data in both the 2.4 GHz and 5/6 GHz bands.
* @QCA_WLAN_VENDOR_ATTR_CONFIG_NUM_RX_CHAINS: The number of chains to be used
* for receiving the data in both the 2.4 GHz and 5/6 GHz bands.
*
* The attributes QCA_WLAN_VENDOR_ATTR_CONFIG_NUM_TX_CHAINS and
* QCA_WLAN_VENDOR_ATTR_CONFIG_NUM_RX_CHAINS must be defined together or the
* driver will reject the command with a failure.
