This command requires NL80211_ATTR_IFINDEX, probably should be better to add
this in the comment ?

I see some places nla_nest_start_noflag being used and here nla_nest_start.
Whats the specific reason to do that ? In the newer Kernel versions, I believe
nla_nest_start is preferred.

Here I see you are assigning same power to all freq band if for the first band
the freq index is not provided. Is there any specific reason to only check the first
here ? Probably this logic should move into specific drivers. Thoughts ?
