I've updated the description to be more explicit on the visible impact
of an error in the patches and uploaded

** Description changed:

  [Impact]
  
  network-manager not report 6GHz capability even hardware able to support
  6GHz band
  
  [Test Plan]
  
  1. nmcli -f wifi-properties.6ghz device show $DEV
  2. should get correct result on 6GHz band enabled system
     "WIFI-PROPERTIES.6GHZ:                   yes"
  
  [Where problems could occur]
  If the parsing is incorrect, the status of WIFI-PROPERTIES.2GHZ, 
WIFI-PROPERTIES.5GHZ and WIFI-PROPERTIES.6GHZ may be incorrect.
  
+ A codesearch query suggests those properties are only used by settings
+ panels to reflect capabilities in the UI so if something went wrong the
+ visible impact should be to have wrong information displayed.
+ 
  This SRU add attribute NL80211_ATTR_SPLIT_WIPHY_DUMP to split wiphy data
  across multiple messages, then parse the message one by one to get full
  supported frequencies. This attribute added after Linux 3.9. And there
  is not other function impact. The risk should be low

       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed
