It was on purpose. Also, for HE it's different from HT/VHT in that we
don't do this in the stack any more.

I'm not really sure _why_ now (or if we should change it), but I seem to
remember it was just a lot more complex to do in general, but drivers
didn't really care so much since they tend to have a lot of hard-coded
assumptions, e.g. they might not care about seeing 2, 3 or more streams
supported if their code assumes the device always only supports 2 in the
first place, so all they need is a >= 2 check in this case, for example.

If you wanted to change that, I wouldn't mind, but it might be complex.
