In essence they mean that the wireless driver used by your device does not support antenna control and distance (ack timing) configuration.
It most likely handles these parameters automatically internally or within the on-chip radio firmware. So nothing to worry about, these failed iw commands will not prevent the radio from working properly.

Interesting. I do have trouble connecting to the two radios on this device that I can't quite put a finger on, particularly from Apple devices (which supposedly are more picky about regulatory domain issues), and more so on 5GHz than the 2.4GHz side, which isn't exactly trouble-free either. I've resorted to resetting back to the default /etc/config/wireless config, but still Apple devices don't want to stay connected to the 2.4GHz radio, and 9/10 do not even "see" the 5GHz radio.
