This allows drivers to improve filtering of unwanted packets when using

Here, it would seem to make more sense to simply give the necessary per-
interface information to the driver? Drivers likely have more
restrictions and will need less complex data structures (or just
iteration) to figure out what's eventually needed for each hw etc.

Some drivers might anyway even have different filters per interface,
even if they're operating on the same channel.

I can do that as well. However, I do think it makes sense to have per-radio tracking in mac80211 as well, because I'm pretty sure that not just mt76, but ath12k would also be able to make use of this.
