So let's agree that we're splitting the *used* rates (which we have
today) and the *advertised* rates/modes/...

Even if we can't modify the wiphy capabilities, perhaps we could still
handle it more consistently at mac80211 level, e.g. by introducing and
using "sdata->capa.bands" (and similar for all the other wiphy
capabilities you want to manipulate), and then allowing that to point
to something modified?
