Avoid returning -EINVAL in this case.
Steps to reproduce:

For channel contexts, mac80211 currently uses the cfg80211
chandef struct (control channel, center freq(s), width) to
define towards drivers and internally how these behave. In
fact, there are _two_ such structs used, where the min_def
can reduce bandwidth according to the stations connected.
Unfortunately, with EHT this is longer be sufficient, at
least not for all hardware. EHT requires that non-AP STAs
that are connected to an AP with a lower bandwidth than it
(the AP) advertises (e.g. 160 MHz STA connected to 320 MHz
AP) still be able to receive downlink OFDMA and respond to
trigger frames for uplink OFDMA that specify the position
and bandwidth for the non-AP STA relative to the channel
the AP is using. Therefore, they need to be aware of this,
and at least for some hardware (e.g. Intel) this awareness
is in the hardware. As a result, use of the "same" channel
may need to be split over two channel contexts where they
differ by the AP being used.
As a first step, introduce a concept of a channel request
('chanreq') for each interface, to control the context it
requests. This step does nothing but reorganise the code,
so that later the AP's chandef can be added to the request
in order to handle the EHT case described above.

Since 'ieee80211_beacon_get()' can return NULL, 'wfx_set_mfp_ap()'
should check the return value before examining skb data. So convert
the latter to return an appropriate error code and propagate it to
return from 'wfx_start_ap()' as well. Compile tested only.

With some conditions, the device is able to send/receive frames during
scan operation. So, it is possible to use it implement the "remain on
channel" feature. We just ask for a passive scan (without sending any
probe request) on one channel.
This architecture allows to leverage some interesting features:
- if the device is AP, the device switches channel just after the next
beacon and the beacons are stopped during the off-channel interval.
- if the device is connected, it advertises it is asleep before to
switch channel (so the AP should stop to try to send data)

Currently, one scan_lock is associated to each vif. However, concurrent
scan on vifs is explicitly prohibited by the device. Currently,
scan_lock is associated with a vif but it is always locked with
conf_mutex (there is a case where conf_mutex is not associated to
scan_lock but scan_lock is tested on all interfaces). So concurrent scan
on vifs cannot happen.
So, this patch relocate scan_lock to the device and simplify the code.

The device ignore the rx filters during the scan operation.
wfx_configure_filter() acquires scan_lock to reflect this restriction.
However, it is not really necessary since mac80211 don't try to
configure Rx filters during scan.
However, the things are changing. The scan operation is going to be used
to implement remain-on-channel. In this case, wfx_configure_filter() can
be called during the scan. Currently, this scenario generate a delay
that end with a timeout in the upper layers. For the final user, some
scenario of the EasyConnect specification end with a failure.
So, avoid acquiring the scan_lock and just return.

The WF200 allow to start two network interfaces (one AP, one station) on
two different channels. Since magic does not exist, it only works if the
station interface enables power save.
Thus, the driver detects this case and enforce power save as necessary.
This patch fixes the case where the AP interface is stopped and it is no
more necessary to enforce power saving on the station interface.

Here is the big set of staging driver updates for 5.19-rc1.
Lots of forward progress happened this development cycle, one driver
(wfx wireless driver) got merged into the real portion of the kernel,
and another one (unisys) was removed as no one is around anymore to take
care of it and no one has the hardware. Combined with loads of tiny
driver cleanups overall we removed 13k lines of code from the tree, a
nice improvement.
Other than the wfx and unisys driver changes the major points of this
merge is:
- r8188eu driver cleanups. So many cleanups. It's amazing just
how many things have been cleaned up here, and yet, how many
remain to go. Lots of work happened here, and it doesn't look
to slow down any time soon.
- other wifi driver cleanups. Not as many as the r8188eu
driver, but still pretty impressive from a janitorial point of
view.
- bcm2853 driver cleanups
- other very minor driver cleanups
All of these have been in the linux-next tree for weeks with no reported
issues.
Note, you will have a merge conflict in the
drivers/net/wireless/silabs/wfx/sta.c file, please just take the change
that came in from the wifi tree. We thought as I had pulled the same
merge point from the wifi developers this type of conflict wouldn't have
happened, but for some reason git flags it as something to pay attention
to and couldn't resolve it itself.

Currently, upon virtual interface creation, wfx_add_interface() stores
a reference to the corresponding struct ieee80211_vif in private data,
for later usage. This is not needed when using the container_of
construct. This construct already has all the info it needs to retrieve
the reference to the corresponding struct from the offset that is
already available, inherent in container_of(), between its type and
member inputs (struct ieee80211_vif and drv_priv, respectively).
Remove vif (which was previously storing the reference to the struct
ieee80211_vif) from the struct wfx_vif, define a function
wvif_to_vif(wvif) for container_of(), and replace all wvif->vif with
the newly defined container_of construct.
