S1G short beacons are an optional frame type used in an S1G BSS that contain a limited set of elements. While they are optional, they are a fundamental part of S1G that enables significant power saving. Expose 2 additional netlink attributes, NL80211_ATTR_S1G_LONG_BEACON_PERIOD which denotes the number of beacon intervals between each long beacon and NL80211_ATTR_S1G_SHORT_BEACON which is a nested attribute containing the short beacon tail and head. We split them as the long beacon period cannot be updated, and is only used when initialisng the interface, whereas the short beacon data can be used to both initialise and update the templates. This follows how things such as the beacon interval and DTIM period currently operate. During the initialisation path, we ensure we have the long beacon period if the short beacon data is being passed down, whereas the update path will simply update the template if its sent down. The short beacon data is validated using the same routines for regular beacons as they support correctly parsing the short beacon format while ensuring the frame is well-formed.

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 reStructuredText 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.
