Rafał Miłecki c0608c6a27 mac80211: brcmfmac: backport 4.19 patches preparing monitor mode support
Monitor mode isn't supported yet with brcmfmac, it's just an early work.
This also prepares brcmfmac to work stable with new firmwares which use
updated struct for passing STA info.

Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: detect firmware support for monitor interface
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Many/most of firmwares support creating monitor interface but only the
most recent ones explicitly /announce/ it using a "monitor" entry in the
list of capabilities.
Check for that entry and store internally info about monitor mode
support using a new feature flag. Once we sort out all details of
handling monitor interface it will be used when reporting available
interfaces to the cfg80211.
Later some fallback detecion method may be added for older firmwares.
For now just stick to the "monitor" capability which should be 100%
reliable.
