With multi-radio devices, each radio typically gets a fixed set of antennas.
In order to be able to disable specific antennas for some radios, user space
needs to know which antenna mask bits are assigned to which radio.

This allows users to prevent a vif from affecting radios other than the
configured ones. This can be useful in cases where e.g. an AP is running
on one radio, and triggering a scan on another radio should not disturb it.

Changing the allowed radios list for a vif is supported, but only while
it is down.

While it is possible to achieve the same by always explicitly specifying
a frequency list for scan requests and ensuring that the wrong channel/band
is never accidentally set on an unrelated interface, this change makes
multi-radio wiphy setups a lot easier to deal with for CLI users.

By itself, this patch only enforces the radio mask for scanning requests
and remain-on-channel. Follow-up changes build on this to limit configured
frequencies.

<title>wifi: cfg80211: add support for advertising multiple radios belonging to a wiphy</title>

<content type='text'>
The prerequisite for MLO support in cfg80211/mac80211 is that all the links
participating in MLO must be from the same wiphy/ieee80211_hw. To meet this
expectation, some drivers may need to group multiple discrete hardware each
acting as a link in MLO under single wiphy.

With this change, supported frequencies and interface combinations of each
individual radio are reported to user space. This allows user space to figure
out the limitations of what combination of channels can be used concurrently.

Even for non-MLO devices, this improves support for devices capable of
running on multiple channels at the same time.

<content type='text'>
Add a regulatory flag to allow VLP AP operation even on
channels otherwise marked NO_IR, which may be possible
in some regulatory domains/countries.

Note that this requires checking also when the beacon is
changed, since that may change the regulatory power type.

kernel-doc flagged the following issue:
include/uapi/linux/nl80211.h:6081: warning: expecting prototype for enum nl80211_plink_action. Prototype was for enum plink_actions instead

This is because the documentation doesn't match the code. Normally the
correct fix for such an issue is to modify the documentation to match
the code. However, in this case, since the actual name plink_actions
is not referenced by any code, rename it to nl80211_plink_action to
give it a proper prefix and match the documentation.

If the hardware supports a disabled channel, it may in
some cases be possible to use monitor mode (without any
transmit) on it when it's otherwise disabled. Add a new
channel flag IEEE80211_CHAN_CAN_MONITOR that makes it
possible for a driver to indicate such a thing.

Make it per channel so drivers could have a choice with
it, perhaps it's only possible on some channels, perhaps
some channels are not supported at all, but still there
and marked disabled.

In _nl80211_parse_chandef() simplify the code and check
only for an unknown channel, _cfg80211_chandef_usable()
will later check for IEEE80211_CHAN_DISABLED anyway.
