It seems it would be needed all the way to userspace so it knows whether
it can expect multi-vif CSA to be available? Or would you just want to
try & fail? Wouldn't that potentially impact channel selection since
you'd want to not pick radar channels for multi-vif? Not really sure ...

Maybe the expectation is that internally there will be no drivers that
don't support it, i.e. if a driver implements the cfg80211 API at all
then it must support multi-vif CSA?
