It seems that this was not functioning properly and was likely completely unused.
Keeping this out of tree also introduced some annoying churn when updating, because
of the iw nl80211.h sync patch.
If this is needed, it will be reintroduced when/if it is added upstream

This adds missing HE modes to mac80211_prepare_ht_modes.
Previously mesh without wpa_supplicant would be initialized with 802.11g
/NO-HT only, as this method did not parse channel bandwidth for HE
operation.

When reloading modules and running wifi, a phy can sometimes be renamed
while in the middle of a hotplug call that tries to detect new phys

This makes it clear, which phy a wlan device belongs to and also helps with
telling them apart by including the mode in the ifname.

Enable HE SU beamformee by default
Fix spatial reuse configuration:
- he_spr_sr_control is not a bool for enabling, it contains multiple bits
which disable features that should be disabled by default
- one of the features (PSR) can be enabled through he_spr_psr_enabled
- add option to disable bss color / spatial reuse

The "tx_burst" option which should control the value was
expecting more of a list and hence tx_queue_data2_burst
value wasn't updated.
Yes, it would make sense to have a list for this, the
existing code only updates tx_queue_data2_burst and
not the other tx_queue_data[0134]_burst values.

It is common for 802.11ax NICs to support more than just AP mode, which
results in there being a distinct set of HE capabilities for each mode. As
(bad) luck would have it, iw prints out info for each HE mode in sequential
order according to `enum nl80211_iftype`, and AP mode isn't always first.
As a result, the wrong set of HE capabilities can be parsed if an AP NIC
supports station (managed) mode or any other mode preceding AP mode, since
only the first set of HE capabilities printed by iw is parsed from awk's
output.
This has a noticeable impact on beamforming for example, since managed mode
usually doesn't have beamformer capabilities enabled, while AP mode does.
Hostapd won't be set up with the configs to enable beamformer capabilities
in this scenario, causing hostapd to disable beamforming to HE stations
even when it's supported by the AP.
Always parse the correct set of HE capabilities for AP mode to fix this.
This is achieved by trimming all of iw's output prior to the AP mode
capabilities, which ensures that the first set of HE capabilities are
always for AP mode.

Add support for randomly generating a MAC address for a wifi-iface
instance by setting `macaddr` to `random`
When set to `random`, a new locally administered unicast MAC address
is generated and assigned to the iface everytime it is (re-)configured

Introduce a new option background_radar to toggle hostapd's background
radar feature. Enabling this allows DFS CAC to run on dedicated radio RF
chains while the radio(s) are otherwise running normal AP activities on
other channels.
As OpenWrt configures hostapd to use a channel list even when a single
channel is configured, using this feature requires a list of channels in
/etc/config/wireless. Alternatively, channel can be set to auto.

On systems using brmcfmac (e.g. Raspberry Pi Zero W) without this fix,
the final setup-call:
iw dev wlan0 ibss join ...
fails with returncode 161 and message:
"command failed: Not supported (-95)"
So this patch calls an explicit:
iw dev wlan0 set type ibss
just prior to the 'ibss join' command.
I have tested several ath9k and mt76xx devices
with different revisions: this patch does not harm.
please also apply to stable branch.
