On 6 GHz (and also 5 GHz to some degree), only a specific set of center
frequencies should be used depending on the channel bandwidth. Verify
this is the case on 6 GHz. For 5 GHz, we are more accepting as there are
APs that got it wrong historically.

<title>wifi: cfg80211: add regulatory flag to allow VLP AP operation</title>

<id>c1d8bd8d777d55f6708ca6e47c54dbe9f66f9bbb</id>
<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.

There are two functions exported now, with different settings,
refactor to just export a single function that take a struct
with different settings. This will make it easier to add more
parameters.

To later introduce an override for VLP APs being allowed despite
NO-IR flags, which is somewhat similar in construction to being
allowed to monitor on disabled channels, refactor the code that
checks channel flags to have not a 'monitor' argument but a set
of 'permitting' flags that permit the operation without checking
for 'prohibited' flags.

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.

Aloka originally suggested that puncturing should be part of
the chandef, so that it's treated correctly. At the time, I
disagreed and it ended up not part of the chandef, but I've
now realized that this was wrong. Even for clients, the RX,
and perhaps more importantly, CCA configuration needs to take
puncturing into account.

Move puncturing into the chandef, and adjust all the code
accordingly. Also add a few tests for puncturing in chandef
compatibility checking.

Simplify cfg80211_chandef_compatible() a bit by switching
c1 and c2 around so that c1 is always the narrower one
(once they're not identical or narrow/S1G). Then we can
just check the various primary channels and exit with the
wider one (c2), or NULL.

Also refactor the primary 40/80/160 function to not have
all the calculations hard-coded, and use a wrapper around
it to check primary 40/80/160 compatibility.

While at it, add some kunit tests for this functionality.

Also expose the new cfg80211_chandef_primary_freq() to
drivers, mac80211 will use it.

FCC-594280 D01 Section B.3 allows peer-to-peer and ad hoc devices to
operate on DFS channels while they operate under the control of a
concurrent DFS master. For example, it is possible to have a P2P GO on a
DFS channel as long as BSS connection is active on the same channel.
Allow such operation by adding additional regulatory flags to indicate
DFS concurrent channels and capable devices. Add the required
relaxations in DFS regulatory checks.
