This one followed the existing example of NL80211_CMD_DEAUTH/DISASSOC,
but well, those are for both notification and requests, so I can see the
difference there.. For these notification-only ones, I would be fine
having a single command if that is desirable. Though, I would probably
not go as far as merging any other frames to this list since
deauth/disassoc are special case for the AP starting to send these as
replies to any Class 2 or 3 frame.
