Not a WiFi-expert, but: How will this band parameter work for WiFi 7 MLO 
where a single-phy device can represent multiple bands?

How would we deal with devices having more than one radio per band? For 
example, some repeaters have a separate radio for backhaul and fronthaul.

Out of interest: How is mac_count to be used in practice? What component 
is enforcing / allocating the MAC addresses?
