I will revise the commit message as below and add two checks (!MCHAN and 
!RSDB)in v2. Let me know if you have concern about that.

When starting station mode on wlan0 and AP mode on wlan1, the
apsta will be disabled and cause data stall on wlan0(station)
The apsta feature with MCHAN(Multi-Channel Concurrent) or RSDB(Real
Simultaneous Dual-Band) can make STA+AP work on two bands concurrently.
Because of that, we keep apsta enabled if firmware supports MCHAN or
RSDB features.
