Subsystem: 802.11 (including cfg80211/nl80211), the rest · Maintainers: Johannes Berg, Linus Torvalds

Landed in mainline as d9a8297e873e on 2021-12-20.

From: Johannes Berg <redacted>

Thinking about MLD (Draft 802.11be) now, it's clear that
we'll have new limitations where different stations (or
links) must be on _different_ channels (or in different
frequency ranges even.) Clarify that the current limit of
multiple channels is a maximum and the same one is OK.
