wifi: nl80211: allow drivers to support subset of NL80211_CMD_SET_BSS
The so-called fullmac devices rely on firmware functionality and/or API to
change BSS parameters. Today there are limited drivers supporting the
nl80211 primitive, but they only handle a subset of the bss parameters
passed if any. The mac80211 driver does handle all parameters and stores
their configured values. Some of the BSS parameters were already conditional
by wiphy->features. For these the wiphy->bss_param_support and wiphy->features
fields are silently aligned in wiphy_register(). Maybe better to issue a warning
instead when they are misaligned.
