This doesn't fix any bug that I know of. It just seems like probably should use rx_nss instead of calculating it on our own (in case something changes in the future). A station may actually include operation mode change notification in assoc request declaring it wants to use a different number of streams than it actually supports as per its mcs map. That's not supported in mac80211 though yet. Marek has posted some patches a few days ago but it actually uses a different codepath from what I understand.
