This command requires NL80211_ATTR_IFINDEX, probably should be better 
to add
this in the comment ?
Per Johannes's comments, this explicit index is not required. Are you 
fine with it?

Instead, user-space application records the array index when querying 
the SAR
capability. When set, the nested array index will be used to set the 
power.
This requires user-space has a strict mapping of index. and 
NL80211_ATTR_IFINDEX
is to be removed.
Wait, what? The IFINDEX is still required, that identifies the interface
- though it probably shouldn't be required, this should be per wiphy, so
you could also use ATTR_WIPHY_IDX?

You're thinking of ... something
else. NL80211_SAR_ATTR_SPECS_FREQ_RANGE_INDEX perhaps?
