<content type='text'>
This enum is already perfectly aliased to enum nl80211_band, and
the only reason for it is that we get IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS out of
it. There's no really good reason to not declare the number of
bands in nl80211 though, so do that and remove the cfg80211 one.

Allow distinguishing the non-station case from the case of a
station without rates, by using -1 for the non-station case.
This value cannot be reached with a station since that many
legacy rates don't exist.

Johannes Berg says:

====================
For the current cycle, we have the following right now:
 * many internal fixes, API improvements, cleanups, etc.
 * full AP client state tracking in cfg80211/mac80211 from Ayala
 * VHT support (in mac80211) for mesh
 * some A-MSDU in A-MPDU support from Emmanuel
 * show current TX power to userspace (from Rafał)
 * support for netlink dump in vendor commands (myself)
====================

If there are no supported rates in the rate mask with the required
flags, we warn, but it's not clear which part causes the warning.

Add the relevant data to the warning to understand why it happens.

<title>mac80211: Do not use sizeof() on pointer type</title>

The rate_control_cap_mask() function takes a parameter mcs_mask, which
GCC will take to be u8 * even though it was declared with a fixed size.
This causes the following warning:

	net/mac80211/rate.c: In function 'rate_control_cap_mask':
	net/mac80211/rate.c:719:25: warning: 'sizeof' on array function parameter 'mcs_mask' will return size of 'u8 * {aka unsigned char *}' [-Wsizeof-array-argument]
	   for (i = 0; i &lt; sizeof(mcs_mask); i++)
	                         ^
	net/mac80211/rate.c:684:10: note: declared here
	       u8 mcs_mask[IEEE80211_HT_MCS_MASK_LEN],
	          ^

This can be easily fixed by using the IEEE80211_HT_MCS_MASK_LEN directly
within the loop condition.
