f1c6c9d3eb ACS: Allow downgrading to 20 MHz based on OBSS results
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.

99cd453720 hw_feature: Correctly select mode in case of the 6 GHz band
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.

d9a7b71a78 AP: Fix regression in frequency check for a usable EDMG channel
Commit 5f9b4afd ("Use frequency in HT/VHT validation steps done before
starting AP") modified hostapd_is_usable_edmg() to use freq instead of
channel numbers. Unfortunately, it did not convert the frequency
calculation correctly and this broke EDMG functionality.

Fix the frequency calculation so that EDMG channel 9 works again.

466e48dcd7 HT: Remove SMPS in AP 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")
8f461b50cf ("HT: Pass the smps_mode in AP parameters")
da1080d721 ("nl80211: Advertise and configure SMPS modes")

driver/hardware can declare more strict limitations than declared in the

72a09d43fe Fix 5 GHz to 2.4 GHz channel switch with hostapd through DISABLE/ENABLE
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.

iface->conf->vht_oper_centr_freq_seg1_idx are zero'ed, but
iface->conf->vht_oper_chwidth remains VHT_CHANWIDTH_80MHZ. This causes

VHT_CHANWIDTH_USE_HT when zero'ing the center frequency parameters.

(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
