i think enum can't be considered as fixed-size field, so better use u8 or so.

worth noting that the "-2" counts for the invalid enum value (at least
it wasn't clear to me)

you don't have to check wiphy->bss_select_support here - we actually
want to fail if NL80211_ATTR_BSS_SELECT was given although the driver
doesn't support it.

(it will fail here instead)
