This patchset adds support for multiple BSSID and
enhanced multi-BSSID advertisements for AP mode.
Individual patches describe the changes in this version.
How about adding the trivial advertisement to hwsim so we can have some
tests in hostapd?

Hi Johannes,
Yes, I plan to add hwsim advertisement separately once kernel
changes are accepted. Will also add hostapd testcases at the
same time.
OK, great! But adding it in hwsim is a kernel change, so why not just
send that patch together?

Hi Johannes,

Trivial advertisement will not work because mac80211_hwsim_beacon_tx() 
does not handle the EMA case which may have more than one beacons 
transmitted.
It will need to be changed to use the newly added 
ieee80211_beacon_get_template().

Hence I will add a separate change for HWSIM.

Thanks.
