802.11ay specification defines Enhanced Directional Multi-Gigabit
(EDMG) STA and AP which allow channel bonding of 2 channels and more.
Introduce NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_EDMG_CHANNELS,
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_EDMG_BW_CONFIG, NL80211_BAND_ATTR_EDMG_CHANNELS,
NL80211_BAND_ATTR_EDMG_BW_CONFIG and RATE_INFO_FLAGS_EDMG
that needed for enabling and configuring EDMG support.
Driver is expected to report its EDMG capabilities: whether EDMG
is supported and the supported EDMG channels.
Bitrate calculation is enhanced to take into account EDMG support
according to the 802.11ay specification.
The kernel uses NL80211_BAND_ATTR_EDMG_CHANNELS and
NL80211_BAND_ATTR_EDMG_BW_CONFIG attributes in order to publish
the EDMG capabilities to the userspace.
NL80211_BAND_ATTR_EDMG_CHANNELS is a bitmap field that indicates
the 2.16 GHz channel(s) that are allowed to be used for transmissions
in the BSS.
If NL80211_BAND_ATTR_EDMG_CHANNELS is not set then EDMG not
supported. NL80211_BAND_ATTR_EDMG_BW_CONFIG represent the allowed
channel bandwidth configurations.
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_EDMG_CHANNELS and NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_EDMG_BW_CONFIG
will be used by the userspace for AP configuration and connect command.
