Current firmware doesn't support AP and STA running on different
channels simultaneously if DRCS is not enabled.
FW crash would occur in such case.
This patch avoids the issue by disabling AP and STA to run on
different channels if DRCS is not running.
Signed-off-by: David Lin <yu-hao.lin@xxxxxxx>

v3:
- add the check for DRCS mode.
- add clean comment for wiphy parameters setting.
v2:
- clean up code.
