+Common IEEE 802.11 properties
+
+This provides documentation of common properties that are valid for all wireless
+devices.
+
+Optional properties:
+ - ieee80211-freq-limit : list of supported frequency ranges in KHz. This can be
+ used for devices that in a given config support less channels than
+ normally. It may happen chipset supports a wide wireless band but it is
+ limited to some part of it due to used antennas or power amplifier.
+ An example case for this can be tri-band wireless router with two
+ identical chipsets used for two different 5 GHz subbands. Using them
+ incorrectly could not work or decrease performance noticeably.
+
+Example:
+
+pcie@0,0 {
+ reg = <0x0000 0 0 0 0>;
+ wifi@0,0 {
+ reg = <0x0000 0 0 0 0>;
+ ieee80211-freq-limit = <2402000 2482000>,
+ <5170000 5250000>;
+ };
+};
