Thinking about it, channel switch announcement IE can also be added in kernel the same way.
Hostapd will be informed once channel switch is done (counter reached 0) so it will update the new channel parameters.
This will make the code easier without the need for the counter offset being sent from hostapd to kernel.

would that not break the kernel if you run it with an older version of hostapds, unless we add 2 APIs for this in parallel, which would be undesirable ? I see your point but the current patchset makes the feature aligned with what we already have. Also keep in mind that there are !mac80211 drivers out there and hostapd can run on !linux systems.
