16   This function is called whenever an Action frame is received for a station
17   mode interface, but is not processed in kernel.

19   <code class="constant">true</code> if a user space application has registered for this frame.
20   For action frames, that makes it responsible for rejecting unrecognized
21   action frames; <code class="constant">false</code> otherwise, in which case for action frames the
22   driver is responsible for rejecting the frame.
