    nl80211: Add support for EDMG channels · 2a38075c
    Alexei Avshalom Lazar authored
    802.11ay specification defines Enhanced Directional Multi-Gigabit
    (EDMG) STA and AP which allow channel bonding of 2 channels and more.
    
    Introduce new NL attributes that are needed for enabling and
    configuring EDMG support.
    
    Two new attributes are used by kernel to publish driver's EDMG
    capabilities to the userspace:
    NL80211_BAND_ATTR_EDMG_CHANNELS - bitmap field that indicates the 2.16
    GHz channel(s) that are supported by the driver.
    When this attribute is not set it means driver does not support EDMG.
    NL80211_BAND_ATTR_EDMG_BW_CONFIG - represent the channel bandwidth
    configurations supported by the driver.
    
    Additional two new attributes are used by the userspace for connect
    command and for AP configuration:
    NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_EDMG_CHANNELS
    NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_EDMG_BW_CONFIG
    
    New rate info flag - RATE_INFO_FLAGS_EDMG, can be reported from driver
    and used for bitrate calculation that will take into account EDMG
    according to the 802.11ay specification.
