Subject: [PATCH V9 1/2] nl80211: add feature for BSS selection support

Introducing a new feature that the driver can use to
indicate the driver/firmware supports configuration of BSS
selection criteria upon CONNECT command. This can be useful
when multiple BSS-es are found belonging to the same ESS,
ie. Infra-BSS with same SSID. The criteria can then be used to
offload selection of a preferred BSS.

V7:
- add validatioin using nla_ok().
V8:
- use IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS.
- add NESTED policy for NL80211_ATTR_BSS_SELECT.
- add braces in for loop.
V9:
- use ieee80211_band iso nl80211_band.

i think enum can't be considered as fixed-size field, so better use u8 or so.

worth noting that the "-2" counts for the invalid enum value (at least
it wasn't clear to me)

you don't have to check wiphy->bss_select_support here - we actually
want to fail if NL80211_ATTR_BSS_SELECT was given although the driver
doesn't support it.

(it will fail here instead)

Yeah. I was wondering about that as it may be affected by compiler
option. Will change it to u8.

I did have a comment in here in an earlier patch set or it was just a
thought ;-) Will add a remark here.

I agree failing would be better than silently ignoring. Will remove it.

Yup.

Thanks for the review.
