I'm not sure there is a mechanism for doing this currently, i.e.,
HT_CAP_INFO_GREEN_FIELD flag is set automatically based on the
capabilities the local driver advertises.

It would, but wpa_supplicant sets this only based on driver
capabilities..

Are you saying that you are getting that "Driver does not support
configured HT capability [GF]" message? If so, could you please provide
full debug log showing this and "iw list" output to show what the driver
advertises as its capabilities?
