At some locations, channels 149-165 are considered a single
bundle, while at some other locations, e.g., Indonesia, channels
149-161 are considered a single bundle, while channel 165 belongs
to a different bundle. This means that:
1. A station interface connection to an AP on channel 165 allows
the instantiation of a P2P GO on channels 149-165.
2. A station interface connection to an AP on channels 149-161
does NOT allow the instantiation of a P2P GO on channel 165.
Fix this.

I'll apply this, but I'm not a big fan of it. Please work with Luis to
get some information into the regulatory database.
Luis pointed this out originally [1] when you were adding the UNII-1/2/3
things to the kernel that he didn't think they'd be universally
applicable, but you said they were ... I guess Luis also thought it was
true though, and it doesn't seem to be (which seems to be because of the
80MHz thing with channel 165 I guess)

Generally we move things that are not universal as flags, or value
attributes, the difficulty here lies in that we'd get different sets
of groups that allow flexibility to lift restrictions. A flag would
still work in the case of UNII 3 and would enable this permissive rule
to be usable on other bands as well. It would also then make the
restriction to Indonesia specific to that region. As far as I can tell
P2P does mandate country IE to be set so this would make relying on
the country IE to be available on clients associating, the flag could
also be cleared upon disconnect as we clear all permissive flags as we
do not after a disconnect / suspend / resume / reboot.
Let me know what you think.
