For VHT peers, the maximum A-MPDU size has to be calculated
from the VHT capabilities element and not the HT-cap. The formula
is the same, but a higher value is used in VHT, allowing larger
aggregates to be transmitted.
The patch contains a workaround for some Netgear/Linksys APs that
report Rx A-MPDU factor incorrectly.

ath10k: fix RX performance when using AP 10.X FW
Due to oversight AP 10.X support was merged with
Ethernet RX decap mode.
Only Native Wifi RX decap mode guarantees IP
header is properly aligned and avoids sk_buff data
realignment (which is very expensive
performance-wise) in mac80211.

It was observed few times, the artificial max_scan limit we
are using mainly to detect FW hangs, can be not enough for
instance while being associated and during heavy traffic.
What we do if the FW won't return with scan results within
the max_time time is a scan abort.
This is especially visible with 10.X fw which in combination
with dual band HW (scanning 32 channels) can end up with
hw_scan close to 10 seconds.
