Get rid of drivers that are either limited to 802.11b/g or don't even support
cfg80211/mac80211. Most of these are either limited to boards that we don't even
support anymore because of firmware size, or were only used for custom hacks by
a really small number of users in the past.
Let's get rid of those to reduce the maintenance effort and the number of useless
packages

CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH isn't defined for this package, rendering the patch
useless. Match protecting the access of sta_info.mesh with the very same
define declaring it.

This fixes following compile error seen when
building mac80211 with mesh disabled:
.../backports-5.15.58-1/net/mac80211/agg-rx.c: In function 'ieee80211_send_addba_resp':
...backports-5.15.58-1/net/mac80211/agg-rx.c:255:17: error: 'struct sta_info' has no member named 'mesh'
255 | if (!sta->mesh)
| ^~
sta_info.h shows this item as being optional based on flags:
struct mesh_sta *mesh;
Guard the check to fix this.

mac80211 incorrectly processes A-MSDUs contained in A-MPDU frames. This
results in dropped packets and severely impacted throughput.
As a workaround, don't indicate support for A-MSDUs contained in
A-MPDUs. This improves throughput over mesh links by factor 10.

It is common for 802.11ax NICs to support more than just AP mode, which
results in there being a distinct set of HE capabilities for each mode. As
(bad) luck would have it, iw prints out info for each HE mode in sequential
order according to `enum nl80211_iftype`, and AP mode isn't always first.
As a result, the wrong set of HE capabilities can be parsed if an AP NIC
supports station (managed) mode or any other mode preceding AP mode, since
only the first set of HE capabilities printed by iw is parsed from awk's
output.
This has a noticeable impact on beamforming for example, since managed mode
usually doesn't have beamformer capabilities enabled, while AP mode does.
Hostapd won't be set up with the configs to enable beamformer capabilities
in this scenario, causing hostapd to disable beamforming to HE stations
even when it's supported by the AP.
Always parse the correct set of HE capabilities for AP mode to fix this.
This is achieved by trimming all of iw's output prior to the AP mode
capabilities, which ensures that the first set of HE capabilities are
always for AP mode.

Using BSS coloring is one way of improving performance on 802.11ax
radios, currently its only enabled by users adding he_bss_color to their
wireless UCI config.
This made sense as one could easily get BSS color collision as BSS color
range is 1-63.
Hostapd now has a way of dealing with BSS color collisions so we can just
assign a integer in the 1-63 range randomly if one is not set by users.
