things, we just don't use them if we disable HT40.

I could not fully understand your concern...

Do you mean we have 2 bugs about disabling HT40 ?

1) bits in HT capabilities IE
2) HT40 still enabled even if it was disabled by wpa_supplicant or hostapd with disable_ht40

And do you mean 1) and 2) should be fixed at one time ?
Indeed, currently on the view point of opposite peer, HT40 was enabled even though it was disabled because both 1) and 2) are wrong.
But if only 1) was fixed, this causes unmatch.

Now I do not recognize bug 2).
Do you have any information about 2) ?
