EDMG (Enhanced Directional Multi-Gigabit) is a new feature, part of 
11ad/11ay specification.
In a nutshell it allows channel bonding of 60Ghz channels.

The debugfs is used for debug-only to allow forcing a channel, not 
intended to replace NL API,
which we are working to upstream such.

I'll send a new version with fixed commit text.
