Yeah, that's a bit confusing. OTOH, they do like to be credited for the
fixes too ... Maybe that should then be "Co-developed-by" ;-)

I really don't know a good solution to this, but would probably drop the
tag(s).

Well, neither is the probe_resp template :)

I guess we should rename this to ... cfg80211_beaconing_data? I dunno. I
mean, this thing is for beaconing and related things, and can be swapped
during runtime for a new beacon/config.

So that seems OK. However, Dan found an issue, so please respin.
