This introduces the pureLiFi LiFi driver for LiFi-X, LiFi-XC
and LiFi-XL USB devices.
LiFi is a mobile wireless technology that uses light
rather than radio frequencies to transmit data.
802.11 bb is focused on introducing necessary changes to
IEEE 802.11 Stds to enable communications in the light medium

2.25.1
Define LC band which is a draft under IEEE 802.11 bb
Current NL80211_BAND_LC is a placeholder band
The band will be redefined as IEEE 802.11 bb progresses
