I guess it's a tradeoff between leaving MHz-only drivers alone and wrapping existing assignments and comparisons in maybe a macro to extract the final KHz value. The current set of changes is about 150 lines in net/mac80211/ and net/wireless/ [1] with drivers/ being about the same. Adding the KHz part to center_freq, center_freq1, and rx_status->freq may be fewer overall changes in mac80211 and cfg80211, and should be none for existing drivers. I'll give this a shot at some point when it comes time to rebase on upstream wireless-testing. [1] https://paste.debian.net/1074289/
