When regulatory rules are configured not to support 40 MHz channels on
the 2.4 GHz band, hostapd_is_usable_chans() still allowed 40 MHz
channels (i.e., 1-9) to be used with ht_capab=[HT40+][HT40-].
Looking into hostapd_is_usable_chans():
1) Validate primary channel using hostapd_is_usable_chan()
2) Try to pick a default secondary channel if hostapd_is_usable_chan()
3) Try to pick a valid secondary channel if both HT40+/HT40- set, and
further validate primary channel's allowed bandwidth mask.
4) Return channel not usable.
For example, for the 2.4 GHz channel 9 in Japan, its default secondary
channel is 13, which is valid per hostapd_is_usable_chan(), so step (2)
returns channel usable.
Add a more strict check to step (2) to clearly reject 40 MHz channel
configuration if regulatory rules do not allow the 40 MHz bandwidth,
which is similarly done in commit ce6d9ce15b ("hostapd: Add supported
channel bandwidth checking infrastructure").

At least the ACS case of an attempt to pick a 40 MHz channel on the 2.4
GHz band could fail if HE was enabled and the driver did not include
support for 40 MHz channel bandwidth on the 2.4 GHz band in HE
capabilities. This resulted in "40 MHz channel width is not supported in
2.4 GHz" message when trying to configure the channel and failure to
start the AP.
Avoid this by automatically falling back to using 20 MHz bandwidth as
part of channel parameter determination at the end of the ACS procedure.

When auto channel selection (ACS) is used for HE 40 MHz in the 2.4 GHz
band, AP sets center frequency after finding a 40 MHz channel and then
runs a scan for overlapping BSSes in neighboring channels. Upon OBSS
detection, AP should downgrade to 20 MHz bandwidth.
This was broken because allowed_ht40_channel_pair() returns true in this
case and the steps to reset center frequency are not executed causing
failure to bring interface up.
Fix the condition to allow rollback to 20 MHz.

There are 2 HW modes with IEEE80211_MODE_A: one for the 5 GHz channels
and one for 6 GHz channels. Since hw_get_chan() checks all the
compatible hw modes, eventually, an incorrect hw mode is selected.
To fix this, add a function that checks if a specific mode supports
the requested frequency and if so use it as the current mode.

SM Power Save was described in somewhat unclear manner in IEEE Std
802.11n-2009 as far the use of it locally in an AP to save power. That
was clarified in IEEE Std 802.11-2016 to allow only a non-AP STA to use
SMPS while the AP is required to support an associated STA doing so. The
AP itself cannot use SMPS locally and the HT Capability advertisement
for this is not appropriate.
Remove the parts of SMPS support that involve the AP using it locally.
In practice, this reverts the following commits:
04ee647d58 ("HT: Let the driver advertise its supported SMPS modes for AP mode")

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

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)
