(88w8897) is disabling 2.4GHz capabilities possible?

Dear NXP,

Is it possible to switch off the 2.4GHz completely?
We want to disable the support for the 2.4GHz at the driver level.

From this link: Disable 5GHz band for 88W8987, we can see that during driver load, the dev_cap_mask can be used to enable support for specific bands. However, there is no documentation that explains how each bit of dev_cap_mask should be configured.

If we only want to switch off the 2.4GHz, what value should dev_cap_mask be set to?

Hi,

We would like to use dev_cap_mask to disable 2.4GHz capabilities.
Could you please provide us with more information about dev_cap_mask?
