Add a new config option "channels" for mac80211 wifi devices. It's only
valid if automatic channel selection is used and restricts the channel
selection to one of the given channels.
config wifi-device
list channels 1

In order to set the multicast rate for mesh point interfaces the "mesh join"
was made explicit and moved to mac80211_setup_vif(), similar to how it is
done for IBSS interfaces.
Previously, the mesh join was made implicit in case authentication (i.e.
$key) was not used when creating the interface in mac80211_prepare_vif(),
while using authentication would create the interface first, then join
later in mac80211_setup_vif() by starting authsae.

Before starting hostapd we create interface for it. The problem is we
try to create STA interface just to let hostapd change it to AP later.
It may fail if device doesn't support STA interfaces or if we already
hit a limit. Consider following phy (it's from BCM43602 and brcmfmac):
$ iw phy phy0 info | tail
valid interface combinations:
* #{ IBSS, managed } <= 1, #{ AP } <= 4, #{ P2P-client, P2P-GO } <= 1, #{ P2P-device } <= 1,
total <= 3, #channels <= 1
Trying to setup 2 interfaces: STA + AP results in:
radio0 (1101): command failed: Operation not supported (-95)
radio0 (1101): command failed: Operation not supported (-95)
radio0 (1101): command failed: Operation not supported (-95)

Two errors "netifd: radio0: sh: bad number" have recently surfaced in system
log in trunk when wifi interfaces come up. I tracked the errors to checking
numerical values of some config options without ensuring that the option has
any value.
The errors I see have apparently been introduced by r45051 (ieee80211r in
hostapd) and r45326 (start_disabled in mac80211). My patches fix two
instances of "bad number", but there may be a third one, as the original
report in bug 19345 pre-dates r45326 and already has two "bad number" errors
for radio0.

Part of rev 44173 added setting the SM Power Save capability in the hostapd.conf
file if the driver indicated that it was supported. It appears this was
incorrect, because the field in the actual HT Capabilities field in the AP
configuration is really a state indication. Just copying the state from the
capability resulted in the AP indicating that it had SMPS enabled all the time
if it supported SMPS. This effectively just disables all clients from sending
packets to the AP with more than one spatial stream, for no good reason.
So remove this part of the change.

If '/sys/class/ieee80211/phyN' is not a symlink, the call to readlink
produces either an empty path (if /sys/class/ieee80211/phyN/device doesn't
exist) or a path that begins with '/sys/class/ieee80211' (which does not
work with the subsequent line to strip '/sys/devices' from the beginning of
the path). Modify the checks to detect these conditions, and fallback to
using the macaddr.

[base-files] shell-scripting: fix wrong usage of '==' operator
normally the '==' is used for invoking a regex parser and is a bashism.
all of the fixes just want to compare a string. the used busybox-ash
will silently "ignore" this mistake, but make it portable/clean at least.
this patch does not change the behavior/logic of the scripts.

This change introduces support for wildcard patterns in "option path"
of section "wifi-device".
Objective is to allow paths like "*/usb[0-9]/*/*" in order to claim
any usb device using the same backend type, regardless of its bus
address or phy name.

The vif option dtim_period was accidently renamed dtim_interval in r38988
("netifd: add wireless configuration support and port mac80211 to the new
framework"). This is wrong and makes the dtim_period/dtim_interval a dead
option because the rest of the config generation code still uses dtim_period.

r40682 ("mac80211: clean up ht capability handling, drop the use of the
ht_capab list, use individual variables instead") removed the ht_capab list and
replaced it with optional variables to disable features for a phy. But these
variables weren't added in drv_mac80211_init_device_config and thus didn't make
any difference when modifying /etc/config/wireless.
