Johannes Berg says:

====================
For 4.11, we seem to have more than in the past few releases:
 * socket owner support for connections, so when the wifi
   manager (e.g. wpa_supplicant) is killed, connections are
   torn down - wpa_supplicant is critical to managing certain
   operations, and can opt in to this where applicable
 * minstrel & minstrel_ht updates to be more efficient (time and space)
 * set wifi_acked/wifi_acked_valid for skb->destructor use in the
   kernel, which was already available to userspace
 * don't indicate new mesh peers that might be used if there's no
   room to add them
 * multicast-to-unicast support in mac80211, for better medium usage
   (since unicast frames can use *much* higher rates, by ~3 orders of
   magnitude)
 * add API to read channel (frequency) limitations from DT
 * add infrastructure to allow randomizing public action frames for
   MAC address privacy (still requires driver support)
 * many cleanups and small improvements/fixes across the board

+Common IEEE 802.11 properties
+
+This provides documentation of common properties that are valid for all wireless
+devices.
+
+Optional properties:
+ - ieee80211-freq-limit : list of supported frequency ranges in KHz. This can be
+	used for devices that in a given config support less channels than
+	normally. It may happen chipset supports a wide wireless band but it is
+	limited to some part of it due to used antennas or power amplifier.
+	An example case for this can be tri-band wireless router with two
+	identical chipsets used for two different 5 GHz subbands. Using them
+	incorrectly could not work or decrease performance noticeably.
+
+Example:
+
+pcie@0,0 {
+	reg = <0x0000 0 0 0 0>;
+	wifi@0,0 {
+		reg = <0x0000 0 0 0 0>;
+		ieee80211-freq-limit = <2402000 2482000>,
+				       <5170000 5250000>;
+	};
+};
