This part is fine..

but this looks problematic. ssid->vht_capa is included only in
CONFIG_VHT_OVERRIDES=y builds, so this would break common builds. In
addition, this breaks number of hwsim test cases (e.g.,
wpas_mesh_open_vht_80p80 ibss_vht_80p80 mesh_open_vht_160) if VHT
overrides are included. It looks like those test cases end up using only
40 MHz channels (HT only?) after this patch.

ssid->vht_capa is cannot really be used without checking
ssid->vht_capa_mask. I'm not completely sure I understand what this
patch is trying to do taken into account ssid->vht_capa is a VHT
override to allow some capabilities to be disabled for testing purposes;
not a normal "enable/disable VHT" parameter.
