If so I feel not correct posing remote STA caps as local caps.

No, no. If you look at HT, then you'll see that if the driver has HT but
isn't capable of doing everything the peer STA can do, then mac80211
restricts tells the driver

Sorry. Where is it telling the driver? I couldn't find this part of code in mac80211, could you point me?

only about the peer capabilities that the
device can do as well.

I agree that this isn't really necessary and can be rather complex in
VHT, but I think you need to document the difference very clearly in the
documentation for the ieee80211_sta VHT caps.

Can this go as different patch? take my v2 patch as framework. More implementation of vht.c at later point of time?
