Remove WIPHY_FLAG_SUPPORTS_5_10_MHZ and 5/10 MHz channel
width support. We contemplated this back in early 2023
and didn't do it yet, but nobody stepped up to maintain
it.
It's already _mostly_ dead code since it can really only
be used for AP and maybe IBSS and monitor, but not on a
client since there's no way to scan (and hasn't been in
a very long time, if ever), so the only thing that ever
could really happen with it was run syzbot and trip over
assumptions in the code.

When considering both NPCA and DBE, it can appear that the
NPCA configuration is invalid, e.g. for an 80 MHz BSS channel
with DBE to 160 MHz:
| primary channel
| NPCA primary channel
| |
V V
| p | | n | | | | | |
| BSS channel |
| DBE channel |
Now the NPCA primary channel is in the same half as the primary
channel, and the NPCA puncturing bitmap could be completely
invalid as a puncturing bitmap when considering the overall
channel.
Split out the validity checks from cfg80211_chandef_valid() to
a new cfg80211_chandef_npca_valid() function that just checks
the NPCA configuration against the BSS chandef.

Add the necessary fields to the chandef data structure
to represent NPCA (the NPCA primary channel and NPCA
punctured/disabled subchannels bitmap), and the code
to check these for validity, compatibility, as well as
allowing it to be passed for AP mode for capable
devices.
Compatibility is assumed to only be the case when it's
actually identical, enabling later management of this
in channel contexts in mac80211 for multiple APs, but
requiring userspace to set up the identical chandef on
all AP interfaces that share a channel (and BSS color.)

Add a new wdev-only interface type NL80211_IFTYPE_PD to support
Proximity Detection (PD) operations such as PASN and peer measurement
operations. This interface type operates without a netdev, similar to
P2P_DEVICE and NAN interfaces.
Implement support across cfg80211 and mac80211 layers with PD-specific
checks gated by the NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_SECURE_RTT feature flag,
management frame registration and transmission capabilities, and proper
channel context handling where PD interfaces are excluded from bandwidth
calculations. Update mac80211 to recognize the new interface type in the
relevant paths for this management-only interface.
PD discovery can be performed on any available interface, such as
NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION.
If PD/PMSR uses the MAC address of an existing interface type, such as
NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION, then pairing and measurement shall use that
same interface. If PD/PMSR uses a different MAC address, such as a
random MAC address, then pairing and measurement can be performed on a

This new interface type represents a NAN data interface (NDI).
It is used for data communication with NAN peers.
Note that the existing NL80211_IFTYPE_NAN interface, which is the NAN
Management Interface (NMI), is used for management communication.
An NDI interface is started when a new NAN data path is about to
be established, and is stopped after the NAN data path is terminated.
- An NDI interface can only be started if the NMI is running, and NAN is
started.
- Before the NMI is stopped, the NDI interfaces will be stopped.
Add the new interface type, handle add/remove operations for it,
and makes sure of the conditions above.

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.

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.

Currently, _everything_ in cfg80211 holds the RTNL, and if you
have a slow USB device (or a few) you can get some bad lock
contention on that.
Fix that by re-adding a mutex to each wiphy/rdev as we had at
some point, so we have locking for the wireless_dev lists and
all the other things in there, and also so that drivers still
don't have to worry too much about it (they still won't get
parallel calls for a single device).
Then, we can restrict the RTNL to a few cases where we add or
remove interfaces and really need the added protection. Some
of the global list management still also uses the RTNL, since
we need to have it anyway for netdev management, but we only
hold the RTNL for very short periods of time here.

S1G channels have a single width defined per frequency, so
derive it from the channel flags with
ieee80211_s1g_channel_width().
Also support setting an S1G channel where control frequency may
differ from operating, and add some basic validation to
ensure the control channel is with the operating.
