In ath drivers we are actively discouraging the use of "G" since 1) that is not the SI unit for gigahertz, and 2) it conflicts with the use of that term in cellular communication where it refers to the generation of technology. So I'd recommend using GHz in descriptions/comments and GHZ/ghz in identifiers.

I understand, but I am not going to push back on it. The identifiers using this are defined and used in the firmware API so at least those I prefer to keep similar/same. For comments in the driver code we should consider using GHz instead.

Side note: in USA, Comcast have started promoting their network as "10G". In their case they're referring to 10 Gbps speeds. They are being called out for misleading consumers with that terminology.

If consumers are that stupid they can mislead by anything ;-)
