IEEE P802.11ay defines Enhanced Directional Multi-Gigabit (EDMG) STA and
AP which allow channel bonding of 2 channels and more.
nl80211 provides the driver's EDMG capabilities from the kernel
using two new attributes:
NL80211_BAND_ATTR_EDMG_CHANNELS - bitmap field that indicates the 2.16
GHz channel(s) that are supported by the driver.
NL80211_BAND_ATTR_EDMG_BW_CONFIG - represents the channel bandwidth
configurations supported by the driver.
The driver's EDMG capabilities are stored inside struct hostapd_hw_modes.
As part of the connect request and starting AP, EDMG parameters are
passed as part of struct hostapd_freq_params.
The EDMG parameters are sent to the kernel by using two new attributes:
NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_EDMG_CHANNEL and NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_EDMG_BW_CONFIG
which specify channel and bandwidth configuration for the driver to use.
This implementation is limited to CB2 (channel bonding of 2 channels)
and the bonded channels must be adjacent.
