Sure.

That's intended for IEEE 802.11 specific stuff that full-mac drivers
could use too, mostly protocol-related defines and helper macros/inlines
(it has no corresponding .c file so you can't have actual functions.)

That declares the mac80211 specific stuff.

That's internal to mac80211.

Many should probably go into the first category as they could be useful
for others. Note though that there's net/ieee80211.h too with stuff for
the ieee80211 stack, and linux/ieee80211.h needs to be compatible with
both net/mac80211.h and net/ieee80211.h
