Is use_cfg_chains really necessary here? Is setting tx/rx chainmask to
0x0 make any sense at all? Shouldn't we deny it or make it fallback to
the supported tx/rx chainmask values?

It would cause the logic to flip back to the defaults, so seems mildly
useful.  I'm not sure
upper layers would ever let it be < 1 though.

0 is a valid argument as far as upper layers are concerned and should
be treated as "use all available antennas" (see `iw list` output
before ever setting antenna, after setting to, e.g. 1 and then to 0).

This implies current set_antenna() implementation is actually buggy
(pdev param should involve using supp_tx/rx_chainmask). Your
assumption in recent patches is also incorrect as antenna mask = 0
should imply max nss, not 1.

I will test, but I think you are mis-understanding the logic in my
patches.  I should be using the max nss whenever configured value
is 0.

Thanks,
Ben
