5f0bca77a8 Retry initial 20/40 MHz co-ex scan if the driver is busy
This makes the initial OBSS scans in AP mode before starting 40 MHz BSS
more robust. In addition, HT20 can be used as a backup option if none of
the scans succeed.

9c47f6a2a6 hostapd: Extend support for HT 20/40 coexistence feature
Extend the minimal HT 20/40 co-ex support to include dynamic changes
during the lifetime of the BSS. If any STA connects to a 2.4 GHz AP with
40 MHz intolerant bit set then the AP will switch to 20 MHz operating
mode.

If for a period of time specified by OBSS delay factor and OBSS scan
interval AP does not have any information about 40 MHz intolerant STAs,
the BSS is switched from HT20 to HT40 mode.

1dde5b5cdd Remove PSMP option from ht_capab
This was used to fill in the "PSMP support" subfield that was defined
during P802.11n development. However, this subfield was marked reserved
in the published IEEE Std 802.11n-2009 and it is not supported by
current drivers that use hostapd for SME either. As such, there is not
much point in maintaining this field as ht_capab parameter within
hostapd either.

49b74430d9 Fix HT40 co-ex scan for some pri/sec channel switches
Secondary channel was compared incorrectly (-4/4 vs. actual channel
number) which broke matching neighboring 40 MHz BSSes and only the
no-beacons-on-secondary-channel rule was applied in practice. Once
sec_chan was fixed, this triggered another issue in this function where
both rules to switch pri/sec channels could end up getting applied in a
way that effectively canceled the switch.

905828fea4 hostapd: Fix vht_capab 'Maximum A-MPDU Length Exponent' handling
As per IEEE Std 802.11ac-2013, 'Maximum A-MPDU Length Exponent' field
value is in the range of 0 to 7. Previous implementation assumed EXP0 to
be the maximum length (bits 23, 24 and 25 set) what is incorrect.

This patch adds options to set it up within the 0 to 7 range.

c1151e47d5 Force OFDM/HT/VHT to be disabled on channel 14
The regulatory rules in Japan do not allow OFDM to be used on channel
14. While this was to some extend assumed to be enforced by drivers
(many of which apparently don't), it is safer to make hostapd enforce
this by disabling any OFDM-related functionality. This tries to avoid
backwards compatibility issues by downgrading the mode rather than
rejecting the invalid configuration.

3aea5fbe3b hostapd: Do not change HT40 capability due to OBSS scan
The capability itself isn't really affected by an OBSS
scan, only the HT operation must then be restricted to
20 MHz. Change this, and therefore use the secondary
channel configuration to determine the setting of the
OP_MODE_20MHZ_HT_STA_ASSOCED flag.

This shouldn't really change anything functionally,
it just makes the code a little less confusing and
is also needed to implement more dynamic bandwidth
changes if ever desired.
