Currently, the S1G channelisation implementation differs from that of
VHT, which is the PHY that S1G is based on. The major difference between
the clock rate is 1/10th of VHT. However how their channelisation is
represented within cfg80211 and mac80211 vastly differ.
To rectify this, remove the use of IEEE80211_CHAN_1/2/4.. flags that were
previously used to indicate the control channel width, however it should be
implied that the control channels are 1MHz in the case of S1G. Additionally,
introduce the invert - being IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_4/8/16MHz - that imply
the control channel may not be used for a certain bandwidth. With these
new flags, we can perform regulatory and chandef validation just as we would
for VHT.
To deal with the notion that S1G PHYs may contain a 2MHz primary channel,
introduce a new variable, s1g_primary_2mhz, which indicates whether we are
operating on a 2MHz primary channel. In this case, the chandef::chan points to
the 1MHz primary channel pointed to by the primary channel location. Alongside
this, introduce some new helper routines that can extract the sibling 1MHz
channel. The sibling being the alternate 1MHz primary subchannel within the
2MHz primary channel that is not pointed to by chandef::chan.
Furthermore, due to unique restrictions imposed on S1G PHYs, introduce
a new flag, IEEE80211_CHAN_S1G_NO_PRIMARY, which states that the 1MHz channel
cannot be used as a primary channel. This is assumed to be set by vendors
as it is hardware and regdom specific, When we validate a 2MHz primary channel,
we need to ensure both 1MHz subchannels do not contain this flag. If one or
both of the 1MHz subchannels contain this flag then the 2MHz primary is not
permitted for use as a primary channel.
Properly integrate S1G channel validation such that it is implemented
according with other PHY types such as VHT. Additionally, implement a new
S1G-specific regulatory flag to allow cfg80211 to understand specific
vendor requirements for S1G PHYs.

[remove redundant NL80211_ATTR_S1G_PRIMARY_2MHZ check]
Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
The kernel performs several regulatory checks for AP mode in
nl80211/cfg80211. These checks include radar detection,
verification of whether the sub-channel is disabled, and
an examination to determine if the channel is a DFS channel
(both DFS usable and DFS available). These checks are
performed across a frequency range, examining each sub-channel.
However, these checks are also performed on subchannels that
have been punctured which should not be examined as they are
not in use.
This leads to the issue where the AP stops because one of
the 20 MHz sub-channels is disabled or radar detected on
the channel, even when the sub-channel is punctured.
To address this issue, add a condition check wherever
regulatory checks exist for AP mode in nl80211/cfg80211.
This check identifies punctured channels and, upon finding
them, skips the regulatory checks for those channels.

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.

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.
