[PATCH 02/13] wifi: nl80211: send underlying multi-hardware channel capabilities to user space

From: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan <quic_vthiagar@quicinc.com>

As originally discussed in the RFC [1], when driver supports multiple
physical hardware under one wiphy, wiphy->num_hw != 0, send per-hardware
supported frequency list to user space. List of frequency are reported
inside an index which identifies the hardware as in wiphy->hw_chans[].
This hardware index will be used in follow up patches to identify the
interface combination capability for each of the underlying physical
hardware abstracted under one wiphy.

Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.1.1-00188-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
