The optional NL80211_ATTR_MGMT_SUBTYPE and NL80211_ATTR_REASON_CODE attributes can now be included in NL80211_CMD_DEL_STATION to indicate to the driver which frame (Deauthentication/Disassociation) and reason code in that frame should be used to indicate removal to the specific station. This is used by drivers that implement AP SME and generate those frames internally.
