Bug description:
Hostapd fails to start on a recent 5.10+ kernel:
$ cat repro.sh
#!/bin/sh
sudo modprobe mac80211_hwsim
sudo ip a flush dev wlan0
sudo ip a add 192.168.5.1/24 dev wlan0
cat << EOF > hostapd.conf
interface=wlan0
driver=nl80211
hw_mode=b
channel=1
ssid=fake net
EOF
sudo hostapd hostapd.conf
ubuntu@hirsute-amd64:~$ ./repro.sh
Configuration file: hostapd.conf
nl80211: kernel reports: expected nested data
Using interface wlan0 with hwaddr 02:00:00:00:00:00 and ssid "fake net"
wlan0: interface state UNINITIALIZED->ENABLED
wlan0: AP-ENABLED
^C
wlan0: interface state ENABLED->DISABLED
wlan0: AP-DISABLED
wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-TERMINATING
nl80211: deinit ifname=wlan0 disabled_11b_rates=0
this due to the mismanagement of the newly added S1G band, the
attached patch fixes it.
