So your patch actually does two things:
  - add support for fixed rate
  - fix default value sent for GI config to the firmware

Is this what we really want ?

I understand the nl80211 enum like this:

NL80211_TXRATE_FORCE_SGI:
 => if STA supports SGI: use SGI only
 => if STA does not support SGI: use LGI only (or SGI only ? IDK)

NL80211_TXRATE_FORCE_LGI:
 => always use LGI

NL80211_TXRATE_DEFAULT_GI (no forcing)
 => if STA does not support SGI: use LGI only
 => if STA supports SGI: implementation defined, most likely SGI/LGI
chosen by rate control


Assuming my understanding is correct, should you not adapt
ath12k_peer_assoc_h_ht() to match this semantic ?
