Subject: [PATCH 1/4] mac80211: introduce support for vendor QAM-256 in 2.4GHz
802.11n
Some vendor supports non-standard QAM-256 in 2.4GHz 802.11n mode.
The implementation works by comunicating vht capabilities to the client
in 2.4GHz 802.11n, the supported client will take this info and
benefits from the additional rates of it.
Each driver needs to enable support for this by enabling the
vendor_qam256_supported in the 2G sband struct and add the required
capabilities for vht_cap.
This feature is supported by various vendor with all kind of marketing
name, but all of them have in common the use of vht capabilities in
2.4GHz 802.11n.
