At some point a few kernel debug prints started appearing which indicated something was sending invalid IEs: "bad VHT capabilities, disabling VHT" "Invalid HE elem, Disable HE" Turns out these were being printed because the local hardware supported HE/VHT but the peer/AP did not. Bad/invalid indicates, to me at least, that the IE is in some way malformed, not missing. For the HE print (ieee80211_verify_peer_he_mcs_support) it will now silently fail if the HE capability element is missing (still prints if the element size is wrong). For the VHT print, it has been removed completely and will silently set the DISABLE_VHT flag which is consistent with how DISABLE_HT is set.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
