Subject: [PATCH 1/4] mac80211-hwsim: notify user-space about channel change.

From: [email-masked]
Date: Fri, 3 Apr 2015 14:12:00 -0700

From: Ben Greear <[email-masked]>

The goal is to allow the user-space application to properly
filter packets before sending them down to the kernel.  This
should more closely mimic what a real piece of hardware would
do.
