But will it? It mostly requires to have a struct ieee80211_channel
registered with the wiphy for a given frequency, and won't find that?

But speaking of which - I was expecting to see a new *band* here for
S1G, so that you can actually register the channels properly in the
wiphy struct? Or is that just not part of this patchset yet?
