In what circumstance?

True, I'd assumed that netlink would check for exact attribute length
with NLA_S32.

I'll add the feature bit but I wonder if it's better as a
driver/device feature (enum nl80211_ext_feature_index) so that it can
take into account whether rdev->set_cqm_rssi_range_config is set.

Ok.
