The helper was only copying the mandatory he_cap fields. Fix this by setting
the max size of optional fields inside struct ieee80211_he_capabilities.
We also need to make sure that the he_cap length calculation takes this into
account.

Ok, so you add here enough room for HE_MAX_MCS_CAPAB_SIZE and 
HE_MAX_PPET_CAPAB_SIZE. In that case, the buffer allocation for the mesh part 
in wpa_supplicant/mesh_mpm.c could be simplified from 

    		buf_len += 3 +
    			   HE_MAX_MAC_CAPAB_SIZE +
    			   HE_MAX_PHY_CAPAB_SIZE +
    			   HE_MAX_MCS_CAPAB_SIZE +
    			   HE_MAX_PPET_CAPAB_SIZE;

to

    		buf_len += 3 + sizeof(struct ieee80211_he_capabilities);

after your patch was applied.

Kind regards,
	Sven

Since it was discussed that this patch replaces "HE: fix he_capabilities 
size" [1], it should maybe not modify a function which was first introduced in 
a patch which is now getting replaced.

Kind regards,

Dropped from my queue.. Is the updated patch available somewhere?
