Can we define separated enum to address four 5G sub-bands, likes
enum nl80211_sar_band {
NL80211_SAR_BAND_2G,

NL80211_SAR_BAND_5G_BAND2,

I think this vendor command can be a generic nl80211 command, because

Why these enum aren't continual?
The reason may be because QCA_WLAN_VENDOR_ATTR_SAR_LIMITS_SELECT and something

ntioned in above paragraph but missing in this enum?
They will waste memory when doing nla_parse() with tb[MAX];
