Description The issue is related to the handling of 2x996 RU allocation in the cfg80211 calculate bitrate he() function. Currently, NL80211 RATE INFO HE RU ALLOC 2x996 is not handled, leading to warnings such as "invalid HE MCS: bw:6, ru:6" and "WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2312 at net/wireless/util.c:1501 cfg80211 calculate bitrate he+0x22b/0x270 [cfg80211]". The fix involves handling the 2x996 RU allocation in the same way as 160 MHz bandwidth.
