Yes, it takes some memory, this looked clean and simple. It is not
unusual case that we would be operating on different channels
(think about roaming,dfs,p2p and etc). The existing implementation
does not do paprd calibration when the operating channel is changed.
Having a single caldata might require us depend on SC_OP_SCANNING/
SC_OP_OFFCHANNEL, but we are already dealing with some bugs in those
flags. I completely agree that it takes memory, would try to fix
existing issues in paprd rather than keeping channel specific data.
thanks for the review.
