Setting EDMG channel through debugfs for connect and PCP start

Why? And what is an EDMG channel?

I get bad vibes that this debugfs file is just a workaround for not
adding this
to nl80211, a proper commit log would not give me such vibes in the
first place :)
EDMG (Enhanced Directional Multi-Gigabit) is a new feature, part of
11ad/11ay specification.
In a nutshell it allows channel bonding of 60Ghz channels.
The debugfs is used for debug-only to allow forcing a channel, not
intended to replace NL API,
which we are working to upstream such.
I'll send a new version with fixed commit text.
