Currently the caps are parsed on every firmware reload, causing any
channel flags to be cleared.
When there is a firmware to interface mode mismatch, the triggered
firmware reload causes a reset of the regulatory settings, causing all
channels to become available:
root@openrouter:/# iw phy phy0 info
Wiphy phy0
Band 1:
(...)
Frequencies:
* 2412 MHz [1] (0.0 dBm)
* 2417 MHz [2] (0.0 dBm)
* 2422 MHz [3] (0.0 dBm)
* 2427 MHz [4] (0.0 dBm)
* 2432 MHz [5] (0.0 dBm)
* 2437 MHz [6] (0.0 dBm)
* 2442 MHz [7] (0.0 dBm)
* 2447 MHz [8] (0.0 dBm)
* 2452 MHz [9] (0.0 dBm)
* 2457 MHz [10] (0.0 dBm)
* 2462 MHz [11] (0.0 dBm)
* 2467 MHz [12] (0.0 dBm)
* 2472 MHz [13] (0.0 dBm)
* 2484 MHz [14] (0.0 dBm)

To prevent this, only parse the caps on the first firmware load during
hardware probe, and store them locally to know we have already parsed
them.
