v3: Validation and storing the bitmap moved to MAC80211.

I think I'd prefer we move the validation function to cfg80211 so both
can use it, this way all potential non-mac80211 drivers have to do it as
well, and then they'll move the function _anyway_ to do the validation
in a single place, I'd hope?

+    u32 punct_bitmap;

Internally I think we can continue to use u16, that's trivial to change
later.

That should probably make some mention of AP mode? It's not optional in
any way for client, after all, and also not relevant to the API how
client does it.

As the top bits are *reserved* then you should check that they're indeed
zero - now they're ignored, which is generally bad. They might not
always be.


I will address all next version.
Will you be sending another patch which moves validation from mac80211 to cfg80211 or should I add that as the first patch?

Okay, saw your comments on 0/6 and one other late.
Will add 1/7 for moving the validation in next version.
Thanks!
