I see two major problems here without checking the actual implementation 
details:

* hw_value is incorrect for a couple of devices. Some devices use a different 
  mapping when they receive rates inforamtion (hw_value) then the ones you use
  for the mcast/bcast/beacon rate setting. I've handled in my POC patch like
  this:

    +		if (ath10k_mac_bitrate_is_cck(sband->bitrates[i].bitrate)) {
    +			preamble = WMI_RATE_PREAMBLE_CCK;
    +
    +			/* QCA didn't use the correct rate values for CA99x0
    +			 * and above (ath10k_g_rates_rev2)
    +			 */
    +			switch (sband->bitrates[i].bitrate) {
    +			case 10:
    +				hw_value = ATH10K_HW_RATE_CCK_LP_1M;
    +				break;
    +			case 20:
    +				hw_value = ATH10K_HW_RATE_CCK_LP_2M;
    +				break;
    +			case 55:
    +				hw_value = ATH10K_HW_RATE_CCK_LP_5_5M;
    +				break;
    +			case 110:
    +				hw_value = ATH10K_HW_RATE_CCK_LP_11M;
    +				break;
    +			}
    +		} else {
    +			preamble = WMI_RATE_PREAMBLE_OFDM;
    +		}

* bcast + mcast (+ mgmt) have to be set separately

I have attached my POC patch (which I was using for packet loss based mesh 
metrics) and to work around (using debugfs) the silly mgmt vs. mcast/bcast 
settings of the QCA fw for APs.

Many of the information came from Ben Greears ath10k-ct driver 
https://github.com/greearb/ath10k-ct 

Kind regards,

Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: Allow to configure bcast/mcast rate

TODO:

 * find better way to get mcast_rate
 * better get the lowest configured basic rate for APs
 * remove netifd WAR
