According to latest IEEE802.11 spec, Transmit Power Envelope element should
also be added to 11ax and is no longer called VHT Transmit Power Envelope.
IEEE P802.11ax/D8.0 seems to have conditions on when this is included.
Only the 6 GHz HE AP case seems to be unconditionally including this
element.
Right, fixed in the new patch series.
Remove the VHT naming from the element.
move hostapd_eid_txpower_envelope() from ieee802_11_vht.c to ieee802_11.c.
use hostapd_get_oper_chwidth(iconf) instead of iface->conf->vht_oper_chwidth.
That type of renaming should be in a separate patch alone to make the
changes easier to review.
fixed in the new patch series.

The order of the IEs is strictly specified in the standard and the
Transmit Power Envelope element needs to be before the Channel Switch
Wrapper element, so this type of reordering of the elements is not
correct.
fixed in the new patch series.
