Hi,

Sorry about the late reply! I'm getting back to merging now and taking a
closer look at this issue.

I think you should document this new behaviour also in nl80211.h.

Additionally - what's the plan on how to discover this? Should userspace
just try to set with 0 value and then drop back to some big number if it
gets an error?
