The shared code you mean is some place around mac80211?
Actually, there are two similar variants existed already: cfg80211_get_start_freq and cfg80211_get_end_freq.
The outputs of them are really what most mac80211 logics care.
The new API here is unlikely to be shared by other mac80211 part.
So, I suppose placing it here(only in wbrf.c) seems proper.
How do you think?
