Ok. I'll try to remember :)

I'd rather return an error when the device isn't 11ad.

If it's basically a requirement then I don't think we really need a
feature flag, but can just have the driver reject the flag in the
meantime. I do want to avoid having a situation where userspace
specified PBSS and it gets ignored entirely though.

Great. No, I don't want bigger wil6210 changes in this patch, so I'd
prefer you add a few lines to this patch that make wil6210 reject the
configuration with PBSS, and then obviously in the real wil6210 patch
remove that again.
