Oh, I just noticed I typo'ed: s/mcs-5/ht-mcs-5/.

There's no 1mbps (CCK) on 5GHz. If you remove the "1" from legacy-5 it
should work.

There's a couple of problems here:
* The syntax for VHT MCS is different: vht-mcs-<2.4|5>
<NSS:MCSx,MCSy... | NSS:MCSx-MCSy>*
You used syntax from HT MCS: ht-mcs-<2.4|5> <MCS index>*
The correct way to express this would be:
iw wlan0 set bitrates legacy-5 vht-mcs-5 1:7,8,9
or
iw wlan0 set bitrates legacy-5 vht-mcs-5 1:7-9
assuming you wanted NSS=1 (VHT MCS don't imply NSS just like HT MCS do)
* As per commit log you can't use just any VHT MCS; you're limited to
none, 0-7, 0-8, 0-9. You can set a *single* VHT MCS as per
51ab1a0a09a8 ("ath10k: add set_bitrate_mask callback") though.
