I guess? I'm still not really sure why you even want it, but hey, that's
up to you in a way. I really didn't like the suggestion with
wiphy_iftype_ext_capab (or any other capability for that matter), it
feels like it should be more dynamic, like maybe a new "add link"
callback or something? At least then you can't blame mac80211 for when
it breaks when you have two 5 GHz links ...
