We need to update "chanspec" iovar for each SoftAP creation
because firmware will update the chanspec to current bsscfg
for each bss. If we do not update it then the wrong chanspec
will be shown on the result of 'wl -i [interface] status'
command. No need to handle channel resource reusing for mbss
mode by the host driver, it should be covered by firmware.

The term "SoftAP" is a bit confusing. From an upstream driver point of view
it's just AP mode, right?

It is. If I have understood things the term is used for using AP interface on a non-router platform. To me it always has been a vague term.

What's wl? Is that some proprietary tool or what?

Yup. Please avoid such references. Same for the term "current bsscfg".

I think I will need to take a closer look at this patch.

Thanks,
Arend
