I'm sorry for my ambiguous representation.
Until Revision 257951, work.
From r258030 to r258034, doesn't work. If antmask_2stream set to
be IWN_ANT_AB, work.
After r258035, doesn't work. antmask_2stream = IWN_ANT_AB doesn't help.

Yes, it fix the problem until r258034, but doesn't fix after r258035.
Rivision 258035 changed many lines and if_iwn_chip_cfg.h was created.
I faced a trouble about where should I try to change.
