This backports two fixes related to operation on DFS-required channels. When a DFS-required channel was selected as the regular (non-outdoor-mode) 5 GHz channel, hostapd would switch to a non-DFS channel as OpenWrt did not pass a chanlist of allowed ACS channels. When hostapd is given a single channel for the chanlist or there's no available channel left (all allowed channels are in the no-occupancy period), hostapd prints "no DFS channels left, waiting for NOP to finish" to the syslog but never stopped transmitting on this channel, still sending out beacon frames and allowing client data transfer.

Subject: mac80211: create channel list for fixed channel operation
Currently a device which has a DFS channel selected using the UCI
channel setting might switch to a non-DFS channel in case no chanlist is
provided (UCI setting "channels") when the radio detects a DFS event.
Automatically add a chanlist consisting of the configured channel when
the device does not operate in auto-channel mode and no chanlist set to
circumvent this issue.
