[PATCH v2 1/9] cfg80211: Add new channel flag to identify 6GHz PSC channel

[Pradeep Kumar Chitrapu <pradeepc@codeaurora.org>]

6GHz channels are divided into preferred scanning channels(PSC)
and non-PSC channels. One in every four 20MHz channels is a PSC.
Spec mandates to use only PSC channels as primary channels for
setting up BSS on 6GHz only AP.

The set of 20 MHz channels in the 6 GHz band, with channel center
frequency, ch_a = Channel starting frequency – 55 + 80 × n (MHz)
are referred to as preferred scanning channels (PSCs) where,
n = 1, …, 15 as per IEEE P802.11ax/D6.0.

This flag also will be used when making scanning decision on
6GHz channels.
