Hi Maxime

You can do this conversion in the core. If features == 0, and some
bits are set in the features link_mode, do the conversion at probe
time. The same can be done for lp_advertising, when the call into the
drivers read_status() has completed.

It sounds reasonable. Lets see what the code looks like.
