Here you are using ldpc uninitialized. As for the idea, ldpc and stbc support/enable in HT and VHT being independant and tx_flags being shared by all the info.rates, you cannot use it as you are trying to (e.g. you might end up asking lower layers to send stbc/vht with a hw only supporting stbc/ht or/and trying to send stbc/vht with inappropriate advertised vht caps). This stems from the STBC/LDPC CTL flags being a mac80211_tx_info_flags, this is what should be changed.
