Set wiphy flag WIPHY_FLAG_HAS_REMAIN_ON_CHANNEL, because mac80211
actually supports it. With the flag set, driver can accept ROC
event from wpa_supplicant or some other user space tools.

This does not seem right. mac80211 does set this flag itself when the driver provides remain_on_channel callback. Does that mean you already have that callback? This patch is either wrong or unnecessary.

Re-reading the commit message I guess it is ok to claim remain-on-channel support when using sw_scan. If this is true it seems better to extend the condition in ieee80211_alloc_hw_nm() for setting the flag.
