Tested-by: Mihai Moldovan <ionic@ionic.de>
Tested-on: QCA6390 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HST.1.0.1-05266-QCAHSTSWPLZ_V2_TO_X86-1


These were the tested configurations:

   - 5 GHz on DFS channel:

         Interface wifiax
                 ifindex 6
                 wdev 0x1
                 addr 20:57:9e:2d:04:1e
                 ssid WRTKA05
                 type AP
                 channel 100 (5500 MHz), width: 80 MHz, center1: 5530 MHz
                 txpower 20.00 dBm
                 multicast TXQ:

   - 5 GHz on non-DFS channel + 2.4 GHz (DBS):

         Interface wifiax24
