Humm... is header_length = 24, then your formula gives l2pad = 4. If so,
this is wrong. Do I miss something?

BTW, I'm trying to prepare some patches for rt2800usb and padding. I
must admit the current framework is a bit complex compared to other
drivers (ath9k for instance).

To give something similar to ath9k where the pad position is computed
based on the hdr->frame_control field only (my guess is that's what the
HW does anyway), we have :

int rt2800usb_padpos(__le16 frame_control)
{
  int padpos = 24;
  if (ieee80211_is_data(frame_control)) {
	padpos = ieee80211_hdrlen(frame_control);
  }
  return padpos;
}

then later : int padsize = padpos & 3;

then the usual check before doing the real padding or unpadding :
if (padsize && skb->len>padpos) {
  do padding or unpadding
}

My 2 cents,
Benoit
