Johannes Berg f8d504caa9 nl80211: reduce non-split wiphy dump size
When wiphy dumps cannot be split, such as in events or with
older userspace that doesn't support it, the size can today
be too big.

Reduce it, by doing two things:

 1) remove data that couldn't have been present before the
    split capability was introduced since it's new, such as
    HE capabilities

 2) as suggested by Martin Willi, remove management frame
    subtypes from the split dumps, as just (1) isn't even
    enough due to other new code capabilities. This is fine
    as old consumers (really just wpa_supplicant) didn't
    check this data before they got support for split dumps.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
