We currently have two module parameters in bcm43xx-mac80211 for this:

static int modparam_mon_keep_bad;
module_param_named(mon_keep_bad, modparam_mon_keep_bad, int, 0444);
MODULE_PARM_DESC(mon_keep_bad, "Keep bad frames in monitor mode");

static int modparam_mon_keep_badplcp;
module_param_named(mon_keep_badplcp, modparam_mon_keep_bad, int, 0444);
MODULE_PARM_DESC(mon_keep_badplcp, "Keep frames with bad PLCP in monitor mode");

Of course, it might be desired to have that knob in mac80211 and cfg80211, somehow.
