Questions about supporting and enabling beamforming (AEGHB-716)

[TryTwoTop]

There are two questions in this issue.

You can answer them one by one, or we'll create separate issues if requested.

1. Does the ESP32-S3 support beamforming?
   (I can't find anything about beamforming in the ESP32-S3's datasheet and esp-idf GitHub repo)

2. Does the ESP32-C6 have beamforming automatically enabled only when communicating with 802.11ax?
   (You can find 802.11ax beamformee support in the Wi-Fi Feature of the ESP32-C6 Datasheet)

1. Not supported
2. This can be set by wifi_csi_acquire_config_t in esp_wifi_he_types.h. By the way, the current code cannot be directly run on the c6 chip.

Hi @MacChu0315-Espressif ,what devices support beamforming?.

[NingYuxiang]

Currently, the ESP32-C5, ESP32-C6, and ESP32-C61 support beamforming functionality.
