Subject: [PATCH 2/5] nl80211: Support for 5/10 MHz channels when reporting BW restrictions

If the 'split wiphy dump' is enabled report the extra attributes
(if present) describing the bandwidth restrictions.
If the 'split wiphy dump' is not enabled completely omit those
channels that have flags set to either IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_10MHZ
or IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_20MHZ thus preventing breaking of old
user-space tools.
