nl80211: prefer non-supplicant-based devices

Browse source 
If a phy has multiple devices, prefer non-supplicant-based ones as per
link_mode, see [0] and [1].

The nl80211 API provides more information than wpa_supplicant/hostapd does,
like HT/VHT operation, which are used by e.g. luci's channel analysis.
