Sorry for leaving this open for so long. I think it didn't hurt since
the merge window was open anyway.

Does per-band really make sense? The mesh channel is also determined at
join time.

I think you should consider allowing this attribute only if the channel
is also specified (NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_FREQ, parsed below), and not make
it nested with rates for both bands but just the selected band.
