This commit enhances the current beacon interval validation to also consider the "radar_detect" and "num_different_channels". Move calculation of GCD for all beaconing interfaces to "cfg80211_iter_combinations". Rename "cfg80211_validate_beacon_int" to "cfg80211_validate_beacon_combination" as the validation considers other parameters.
So this was better, but I think we're mixing too many things in here. I'm not convinced, for example, that checking if radar is required is really the right thing, it might still be enabled even if it's not required (any more, regulatory may change)? Not that I don't think that's a worthwhile goal - moving more of the data/calculation back into cfg80211 - but I don't think it should be mixed in here. I've just sent out a few patches that, I think, implement the necessary validation for just the beacon intervals, without all this extra baggage. Please take a look and let me know what you think. johannes
