Are there any known issues with drivers advertising this capability but
not working? Why would a user want to disable this? This type of a
configuration parameter was there originally when this capability was
introduced, but it got removed since there was no clear justification
for adding the extra complexity. Has something changed recently to
reconsider that earlier conclusion?


The mt7915 driver mistakenly enables this feature for mt7915 radios from
asia-rf that do not have the hardware support for this feature.

And there is very little complexity added by my patch.  There are often
unforseen bugs in new features, I think it is good practice to allow
them to be disabled.

Thanks,
Ben
