Could you please provide more detail on how this is being hardcoded in
the current implementation? It looks like cap->he_phy_capab_info is
being copied from the driver advertised capabilities in
NL80211_BAND_IFTYPE_ATTR_HE_CAP_PHY. Is the driver advertising incorrect
capabilities or is there some requirement for being able to disable HE
LDPC advertisement even when the driver would be capable?
