I'm not against this and the patch looks fine, but I guess I'm surprised
it even matters to anyone. The encap offloading fundamentally requires
that the driver do more work to identify the destination STA, and then
anyway the link is picked by driver/FW? Or is there a case of encap
offload with _multicast_?

Anyway, looks OK and just sets a few bits that I feel like it's weird
that they're even used, so doesn't matter :)
