The num_different_channels in wiphy info is not correct when firmware

overridden to 1 in brcmf_setup_ifmodes. Correct the logic by moving
num_different_channels setting forward.

Does this fix a user visible bug? If yes, it would be nice to document
that.

Hi Kalle,

Depends on the users expectation ;-) When the device/firmware supports multi-channel (better not use mchan abbreviation) it can have P2P connection and regular connection with AP simultaneous. So the current state is that this is not possible regardless whether mchan is supported. So the device is not used to fullest extent.
