Thanks for your patch, a few comments below.

nit: not related to this patch,
     but there are lots of holes in hwsim_new_radio_params.
     And, I think that all fields, other than the new pmsr_capa field,
     could fit into one cacheline on x86_64.

     I'm unsure if it is worth cleaning up or not.

This change seems unrelated to the rest of the patch.

WARN_ON doesn't seem right here. I suspect that the following is more fitting.

		NL_SET_ERR_MSG_ATTR(...);
		return -EINVAL;
