This patch adds new attributes to support unsolicited broadcast
probe response transmission used for in-band
discovery in 6GHz band (IEEE P802.11ax/D6.0 26.17.2.3.2, AP behavior for
fast passive scanning).
The new attribute, NL80211_ATTR_UNSOL_BCAST_PROBE_RESP, is nested which
supports following parameters:
(1) NL80211_UNSOL_BCAST_PROBE_RESP_INT - Packet interval
(2) NL80211_UNSOL_BCAST_PROBE_RESP_TMPL - Template data

And maybe some driver support flag is needed?

Are you referring to enable/disable flag separate from the interval field being used for that? Or a different command/event from driver to netlink advertising if the driver supports this feature?

If former, it isn't needed because interval=0 means disable.

Thanks.
