That seems fine, though not sure it's actually _relevant_ - how would we
possibly generate such frames in mac80211?

This I don't understand.

The code

sets it to the same thing, no?

Oh, I see - again you're worried about IEEE80211_HT_CTL_LEN I guess?

Maybe just subtract that again?

But either way, I'm not sure how we'd generate these in the first place.
