Dear Johannes,

Subject: [PATCH] Added 2 new Control Frames ( Beamforming Report Poll & VHT
NDP Announcement) defined in 802.11ac.
Beamforming Report Poll frame - This frame is used to retrieve additional
feedback from the second and subsequent beamformees. The beamformer must use
the Beamforming Report Poll frame. In Beamforming Report Poll, the Feedback
Segment Retransmission Bitmap field indicates the requested feedback segments
of a VHT Compressed Beamforming report.
VHT Null Data Packet (NDP) Announcement - This frame is used by Beamformers to
gain control of the channel and identiy beformees. Beamformees will respond to
the NDP Announcement, while all other stations will simply defer channel access
until the sounding sequence is complete

Perhaps you should combine the two-liner with other patches then?
Standalone, this isn't really worthwhile I think.
