Setting aside Kalle's question for a second (though you should address
them, probably before mine!)...

I don't think this makes sense. Just have an NL80211_ATTR_CHANNEL_LIST
or so, which is like a NLA_POLICY_NESTED_ARRAY, and then inside we can
reuse the existing top-level attributes for how to define a channel.

That'll save you most of the parsing code too.

It seems like a "successful" flag attribute would be sufficient.

Don't do that. Need to cancel the operation if the netdev is removed
instead.
