But when the flag is set, it is being set correctly?
Perhaps we can just set the flag at all times, because rt2x00lib
checks how much padding is required anyway. Unless of course
the device doesn't always add L2 padding when it actually should have.

I don't really have time to perform any testing, so all patches are
only checked by me for 'code correctness'.
