Thanks for pointing this out. I agree that the previous change would be
misleading and could break existing users that interpret ieee80211ac=1
as VHT being part of the association rather than as an exclusive Wi-Fi
generation indication.

I'll respin this so that wifi_generation remains the exclusive
generation indication, while ieee80211ac/ieee80211ax are non-exclusive
STATUS indications based on connection_vht/connection_he.
