Since mt76 uses chanctx, mac80211 does not send nullfunc power save
notifications when the driver goes offchannel for scan or ROC.
Add mt76_offchannel_notify() to send nullfunc PM=1 before going
offchannel and PM=0 after returning, so that the AP can buffer
frames during the absence.
For MLO, iterate all vif links on the phy and set
IEEE80211_TX_CTRL_MLO_LINK so that the driver's tx_prepare_skb
resolves the correct per-link wcid.

mt76_remain_on_channel() always creates an HT20 chandef and goes
offchannel, even when the ROC channel matches the operating channel.
This unnecessarily narrows bandwidth and triggers beacon stop/restart.
When the ROC channel matches the current operating channel, preserve
the full chandef and skip the offchannel transition, matching the
optimization already present in the scan code.
Extract the shared same-channel detection into mt76_offchannel_chandef()
and use it in both ROC and scan paths.

On channels with NO_IR or RADAR flags, wait for beacon before sending
probe requests. Allows active scanning and WPS on restricted channels
if another AP is already present.

MediaTek has asked to switch from the ISC license to BSD-3-Clause-Clear,
in order to improve clarity and the legal integrity of the code.
The BSD-3-Clause license includes the "no endorsement" clause, which is
important for protecting the reputation of the original authors and
contributors by preventing unauthorized use of their names for endorsement
purposes.
This clause is absent in the BSD-2-Clause license, which is more permissive
but lacks this specific protection.
This change also cleans up the license of some Kconfig/Makefile files,
which were accidentally marked as GPL.
The GPL 2.0 remains in use on mt76x0, as well as two source files in mt7615
for which the license situation still needs to be clarified.

This allows a driver using the generic channel context functions to
temporarily switch to another channel for off-channel rx/tx.

When scanning on a phy/vif combination that does not have an active link,
create a temporary link in order to ensure that we have a valid wcid.

This adds an implementation for the chanctx functions, which can be used
by multi-channel capable drivers. Preparation for adding MLO support.

Preparation for supporting multiple radios on a single wiphy on devices
where firmware does not support actual hardware scanning.
This is also a prerequisite for full MLO support
