It also fixes a missing MHZ_TO_KHZ() macro for 6GHz channels while at it.

Yeah, I actually saw and fixed that earlier, but whatever. I can fix up
any issues.

case NL80211_BAND_6GHZ:
- /* see 802.11ax D4.1 27.3.22.2 */
+ /* see 802.11ax D6.1 27.3.23.2 */
+ if (chan == 2)
+ return MHZ_TO_KHZ(5935);
if (chan <= 253)
- return 5940 + chan * 5;
+ return MHZ_TO_KHZ(5950 + chan * 5);

So this can return 5950+5*253 == 7215

and here you have no real upper bound, which is fine

but here both the comment and the code say 7115? Should that be 1..253
and 7215, respectively?

I can fix, no need to resend.

The 802.11 spec specifies the 1..253 range. The FCC has proposed the U-NII bands 5 to 8 for the 6G band. U-NII-8 ends at 7125 so the highest 20MHz center freq is 7115, ie. channel 233. Have to admit that mixing the two in this patch can be confusing. I leave it at your discretion how to fix it. I can also resend if necessary.

Arend
