Ok so ... I really don't like this whole concept to start with, but you
convinced me it was needed. This is just ugly though. Now you can
suddenly change the HT caps randomly at runtime? That's ... distressing
for userspace!

Is there any chance this can just be a pointer inside the wdev struct?
Then at least we can verify it in NETDEV_UP if you had invalid HT caps
originally, etc.
