cfg80211: Specify frame and reason code for NL80211_CMD_DEL_STATION
The optional NL80211_ATTR_MGMT_SUBTYPE and NL80211_ATTR_REASON_CODE attributes can now be included in NL80211_CMD_DEL_STATION to indicate to the driver which frame (Deauthentication/Disassociation) and reason code in that frame should be used to indicate removal to the specific station. This is used by drivers that implement AP SME and generate those frames internally. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
