HE capabilities are exposed to user space via NL80211_BAND_IFTYPE_ATTR_*
as each iftype has different set of capabilities. My last series of
hostapd
6 GHz changes are depending on HT/VHT capability for IE and config
validation.
Planning to get rid of such dependency by announcing 6 GHz capability by
driver
and use it in hostapd. Will post hostapd changes sooner.
