This patch enables drivers to implement mac address based
access control in AP/P2P GO mode. There is a new flag in
nl80211_feature_flags (NL80211_FEATURE_MAC_ACL) for drivers
to advertise this capability. There are two acl policies, white
and black list, under which an acl list can be configured in the
driver. Driver has to advertise the maximum number of mac address
entries in acl list through max_acl_mac_addrs of wiphy.
ACL is enabled/disabled based on attribute NL80211_ATTR_MAC_ACL which
is passed in start_ap. A list of stations' mac addresses is set
using NL80211_CMD_SET_MAC_ACL.
I would prefer a bit more documentation how this works from user space
or driver's point of view. I think I can guess how it's supposed to
work, but it would be good to document it explicitly. For example, it
wasn't clear how he driver must function when NL80211_ACL_POLICY_ACCEPT
or DENY is used.
Sure, I'll add more documentation.
Driver may have to make sure to clear it's acl list when doing start/stop ap.

Right, it is must. Thanks!
