While configuring legacy beacon rate, VHT and HE MCS rates must be cleared. Otherwise the default MCS rates is filled by cfg80211 while validating beacon tx rate netlink attribute. This issue is exposed by ap_beacon_rate_legacy2
test case while validating HE MCS beacon tx rate support.

As I said with the kernel patch, I don't think that the kernel's side is
approaching this the right way - better to default to no rate if the
attribute isn't present, at least for the purposes of beacon rate
settings. Maybe not for other purposes.

Understood. I submit the patch for cfg80211. Shall we retain this patch or drop it?
