This patchset builds on the work down by Thomas Pedersen to add further
support for 802.11ah in cfg80211 and mac80211. The ultimate goal is
to enable the successful starting of an AP on 802.11ah using 802.11ah
terms by implementing the various features that are required by the
AP. The features are split into their own commits, please see those
patches for more details.

The patchset has been tested on both real hardware (Morse Micro MM610x)
and mac80211_hwsim, in AP and STA modes. Basic regression testing was
performed on 802.11n with mac80211_hwsim by starting an AP and having a
STA interface connect to it.

802.11ah features/support missing:
 - Rate control integration
 - Regulatory database updates (only US regulatory information exists)
 - Optional 802.11ah (S1G) features such as RAW, TWT and AID grouping

Kieran Frewen (12):
  cfg80211: regulatory: extend regulatory support for S1G
  mac80211: update TIM for S1G specification changes
  mac80211: S1G beacon/short beacon support
  nl80211: support setting S1G short beacon period
  nl80211: support advertising S1G capabilities
  mac80211: support ieee80211_ext format
  mac80211: S1G capabilities information element in probe request
  cfg80211: S1G rate flags
  nl80211: support advertising S1G rate information
  mac80211: support S1G rate encoding.
  cfg80211: support for calculating S1G bitrates
  mac80211_hwsim: support for S1G rate information
