That's incorrect for sure. But iw code now actually reads

        printf("%s\t\tHE MAC Capabilities (0x", pre);
        for (i = 0; i < 3; i++)
                printf("%04x", le16toh(mac_cap[i]));
        printf("):\n");


which is correct. HE PHY capabilities are printed as

        printf("%s\t\tHE PHY Capabilities: (0x", pre);
        for (i = 0; i < 11; i++)
                printf("%02x", ((__u8 *)phy_cap)[i + 1]);

in my version of the code, and it seems to me the +1 is incorrect either
way?

This was also correct, not incorrect as I stated, since mac_cap is u8 *,
and EHT PHY capabilities are cast to u8 * first.

Maybe your iw is just really old?
