There is no nl80211 parameter for this. The WMM element that advertises
values for station is part of the Beacon/Probe Response frame template
that gets set when starting or updating the AP/BSS information. This may
depend on the Wi-Fi driver that is used, but for example with
mac80211_hwsim, you cannot change this independently without updating
the full Beacon template (i.e., you have to update this through hostapd
to avoid conflicts with other Beacon frame information changes).
