Re: [PATCH v2 6/6] cfg80211: support configuring vdev mac addr on create.

Same comment regarding "vdev", here starting from the subject.

Also, this patch isn't purely cfg80211 - should probably split it into
cfg80211 and mac80211 parts?

Maybe point to the feature flag here.

Maybe point to the attribute that's used for that here?
