Johannes comment about piggy-backing NL80211_BAND_2GHZ is not yet addressed:

I agree with Johannes, a Li-Fi driver should not claim to be a regular
2.4 GHz Wi-Fi device.
Yes, I agree, As LiFi is not standardized yet we are using the
existing wireless frameworks. For now, piggy backing with 2.4GHz is
seamless for users. We will undertake band and other wider change once
IEEE 802.11bb is standardized.
I don't see why the IEEE standard needs to be final before adding the
band. Much better to add a band which is in draft stage compared to
giving false information to the user space.

BTW do not use HTML mail, our lists drop those.
