This patch is to add vendor command support to configure per
peer CFR parameters.
An example of usage:
iw dev wlanx vendor send 0x1374 0xad cfr-en <val> bw <bw> method <method>
periodicity <period> addr <mac_addr>
0x1374: vendor id
0xad: : vendor subcmd id
val: 0 to disable CFR capture
1 to enable CFR capture
bw: CFR capture bandwidth(use the values in enum nl80211_chan_width)
1 - 20MHZ
2 - 40MHZ
3 - 80MHZ
method: Method used by hardware to collect the CFR dump
0 - from the ACKs of QOS NULL packets
1 - from the ACKs of QOS NULL packets with phase
2 - from the ACK of probe response packet
periodicity: Periodicity in ms at which CFR dump need to be collect
0 - single shot capture
non zero - for Periodic captures
mac_addr: mac address of the peer for which CFR capture is requested.

That's pretty much the worst way to start this ...
Please explain at least what CFR is? What does the feature do?
And please also see
