It sounds fine to make such capabilities configurable, but please split
this into multiple configuration parameters just like all the other HE
parameters are instead of using the difficult to use ht_capab/vht_capab
style of a string with list of flags in them.

For example, this could be he_6gzh_max_mpdu.

And similar separate parameters for these. Those 0/1 values for antenna
patterns look strange in a list-of-flags description, but make sense for
something like he_6ghz_tx_ant_pat.
