I wonder if it is possible to find a less intrusive solution.that
doesn't require changes
to the lowlevel drivers and doesn't need the exporting of the
interface combination structures
outside of the base rt2x00 module.

I can imagine that you select the right structure to use based on the
current max_sta_intf
and max_ap_intf variables of the rt2x00dev structure inside
rt2x00mac.c and leave it with that.

Doestn't this introduce a bug for the rt2400 and rt2500 devices that
do not support
multiple AP interfaces? In that case you set the iface_combinations to
a NULL pointer
(as the if_comb field of the rt2x00dev structure is not initialized
for these drivers),
but you still indicate there is 1 combination.
