This is utilized to pass LDPC configurations from user space (i.e. hostap) to driver.

again, hostapd

why do we need this?

what do you mean by "owns" the capability? Has? Uses it?

No need for braces.

User can configure hostapd.conf "# LDPC coding capability: [LDPC] =
supported" to decide if an AP mode has LDPC caps. They are actaully
long-standing configurations of hostapd, but have never been propegated
to kernel. One of our use cases is for certification setup.

Copy-and-pasted from @mu_mimo_owner, but indeed, "has" is better. Will
fix.
