Using the channel parameter for validating allowed channel combinations
is not scalable to add 6 GHz support in the future since channel numbers
are duplicated between 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz bands and 6 GHz band. Hence use
frequency field for all channel combination validation steps done before
starting AP.

Using channel field while starting AP will cause issues with the new
6GHz band as the channel numbers are duplicated between the different
bands. Populate iface->freq before starting AP so that it can be used
instead of the channel number for all validations that need to be done
while starting AP.

The 5 GHz channels are stored in one hw_features set with mode
HOSTAPD_MODE_IEEE80211A while the 6 GHz channels will need to stored in
a separate hw_features set (but with same mode HOSTAPD_MODE_IEEE80211A)
due to possibility of different HE capabilities being available between
the 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands.
Search through all hw_features sets whose mode is same as the input mode
while finding channel corresponding to the input frequency in
hw_get_channel_freq().

This adds checks to common code to verify supported bandwidth options
for each channel using nl80211-provided info. No support of additional
modes is added, just additional checks. Such checks are needed because
driver/hardware can declare more strict limitations than declared in the
IEEE 802.11 standard. Without this patch hostapd might select
unsupported channel and that will fail because Linux kernel does check
channel bandwidth limitations.

When moving a 5 GHz VHT AP to 2.4 GHz band with VHT disabled through the
hostapd control interface DISABLE/reconfig/ENABLE commands, enabling of
the AP on 2.4 GHz failed due to the previously configured VHT capability
being compared with hardware VHT capability on 2.4 GHz band:
hw vht capab: 0x0, conf vht capab: 0x33800132
Configured VHT capability [VHT_CAP_MAX_MPDU_LENGTH_MASK] exceeds max value supported by the driver (2 > 0)
ap: interface state DISABLED->DISABLED
Since VHT (ieee80211ac) config is already disabled for the 2.4 GHz band,
add fix this by validating vht_capab only when VHT is enabled.

In case of incorrect HT40 configuration as part of an attempt to create
a 80 MHz AP, iface->conf->vht_oper_centr_freq_seg0_idx and
iface->conf->vht_oper_centr_freq_seg1_idx are zero'ed, but
iface->conf->vht_oper_chwidth remains VHT_CHANWIDTH_80MHZ. This causes
the logic in dfs_get_start_chan_idx to fail.
Fix this by setting iface->conf->vht_oper_chwidth to
VHT_CHANWIDTH_USE_HT when zero'ing the center frequency parameters.

This is to comply with uniform spreading requirement for ETSI domain
(section 4.7.2.7 in EN 301 893 - V1.8.1). ETSI uniform spreading
requires equal probability for the usable channels. The previous channel
selection logic after a radar detection did not fully comply with the
uniform spreading requirement for the domain by ignoring DFS channels.
Consider DFS channels also during channel selection when the current DFS
domain is ETSI.

When an AP is started on the 5.2 GHz band with 40 MHz bandwidth, a
scan is issued in order to handle 20/40 MHz coexistence. However,
the scan is issued even if iface->conf->no_pri_sec_switch is set,
which is redundant.

This needs to find the PRI channel also in cases where the affected
channel is the SEC channel of a 40 MHz BSS, so need to include the

Before starting a 20/40 MHz BSS on the 2.4 GHz band, a 40-MHz-capable HT
AP is required by the rules defined in IEEE Std 802.11-2012 10.15.5 to
examine the channels of the current operational regulatory domain to
determine whether the operation of a 20/40 MHz BSS might unfairly
interfere with the operation of existing 20 MHz BSSs. The AP (or some of
its associated HT STAs) is required to scan all of the channels of the
current regulatory domain in order to ascertain the operating channels
of any existing 20 MHz BSSs and 20/40 MHz BSSs. (IEEE 802.11-2012 S.5.2
