Add NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_VHT_MESH flag to allow drivers
to indicate support for VHT in Mesh mode.
This flag will be used by wireless drivers to indicate
the capability of VHT Mesh support and wpa_supplicant to inspect
wireless drivers' capability of VHT Mesh.
In addition to this patch, separate patches to ath10k driver and
wpa_supplicant are also sent out.
Sorry, still doesn't make sense. What does userspace even need to know
this *for*?
At this moment Mesh Point is not able to be brought up by userspace such
as wap_supplicant at VHT data rates because there is no events/NL80211
defined that userspace can check out if drivers can support Mesh Point
(802.11s) at VHT data rates or not, hence only HT data rates can be used
for
Mesh Point by userspace now.
This patch is introducing NL80211 event to cover the issue.
