From 4352a4d7f6bfd0aed0276a13fa4993db35714db4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Tue, 8 Dec 2015 16:04:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: document status.freq restrictions It's not always necessary to set the status.freq field, for example when this would be an expensive calculation. It must be set for all management frames (as they might be reported to userspace), but for data frames it's not really required. Document this.
