patch to enable LDPC / STBC sniffing with ath10k

Hi ath10k-list,

I am a CE for WiFi in Qualcomm-Atheros. I don't know this is appropriate to contact you using QCA email.

I recently tried sniffer (monitoring mode) with ath10k driver. I found LDPC packets are not captured, and there is no flag for LDPC / STBC in Radiotap information. Could you please consider this kind of patch though this is draft form?

1. parse preamble information to set the LDPC / STBC flag in the Radiotap information.
2. indicate LDPC / STBC / SGI enable to the firmware on vdev-up


Thanks,
Owen
