Fixed in previous version.

As far as I could tell there were fixed after the TAG_* default case with a
TODO, not by us.

BRP_Request - patched.
SSW - patched.
SSWF - patched.
DMG Capa - patched by splitting 64bit mask into 24bit + 24bit + 16bit different
masks (couldn't find an option to write 64bit unsigned integer constant mask in
C without receiving conversion errors).
DMG Oper - I think there is no need to such patch here.
Extended schedule - patched.
sta avail - patched.
DMG beam refinement - patched.

Fixed.

I mistakenly thought it is needed to show the new 802.11ad packet with the
extension field and not only the type/subtype. Changed it back to 8.

Fixed.

If the same as:
"It should be applied to BRP_Request, SSW, SSWF, DMG Capa (octet by octet if
needed), DMG Oper, Extended shcedule, sta availability, DMG_BEAM_REFINEMENT."
described in comment 10, then it is fixed as well.

I would like to point out, that I hadn't worked on any other portion of this
patch but the points mentioned above. So, as always, there might be other
places to enhance/fix that I hadn't treated yet so feel free

Last but not least, sorry for disappearing. Life had other plans.
