I'm not sure we we really want that.

With this, you're again putting more features and more decision making
processes with the driver, I would much prefer this to be worked out in
mac80211 so we can do it across all drivers.

If this is a knob that should be adjusted then we want to enable users
to do it, and if it isn't then we can put a value into mac80211 and fix
it. Having drivers make these kinds of decisions is very bad for uniform
wireless behaviour.
