/**
* DOC: Frame transmission/registration support
*
* Frame transmission and registration support exists to allow userspace
* management entities such as wpa_supplicant react to management frames
* that are not being handled by the kernel. This includes, for example,
* certain classes of action frames that cannot be handled in the kernel
* for various reasons.
*
* Frame registration is done on a per-interface basis and registrations
* cannot be removed other than by closing the socket. It is possible to
* specify a registration filter to register, for example, only for a
* certain type of action frame. In particular with action frames, those
* that userspace registers for will not be returned as unhandled by the
* driver, so that the registered application has to take responsibility
* for doing that.
*
* The type of frame that can be registered for is also dependent on the
* driver and interface type. The frame types are advertised in wiphy
* attributes so applications know what to expect.
*
* NOTE: When an interface changes type while registrations are active,
* these registrations are ignored until the interface type is
* changed again. This means that changing the interface type can
* lead to a situation that couldn't otherwise be produced, but
* any such registrations will be dormant in the sense that they
* will not be serviced, i.e. they will not receive any frames.
*
* Frame transmission allows userspace to send for example the required
* responses to action frames. It is subject to some sanity checking,
* but many frames can be transmitted. When a frame was transmitted, its
* status is indicated to the sending socket.
*
* For more technical details, see the corresponding command descriptions
* below.
