This is important for brcmfmac as the firmware may pick different
channel than requested. This has been tested with BCM4366B1 (in D-Link
DIR-885L).

Can you elaborate? Is this for AP or STA mode?

Can this operation be done on a P2P_DEVICE interface, ie. wdev->netdev
== NULL?

Not much sense to support this given that center_freq2 is set to zero below.

This happens when using 5 GHz PHY with one AP interface. It seems
firmware respects: band, channel width & control channel location.
However it picks center channel in a more or less random way.

E.g. I configured hostapd to setup AP using 36 control channel with
VHT80 (chanspec 0xe02a). Almost every time I was restarting AP I got
firmware picking different chanspecs, all cases listed below:
0xe03a BND_5G | BW_80 | SB_LL | 58
0xe06a BND_5G | BW_80 | SB_LL | 106
0xe07a BND_5G | BW_80 | SB_LL | 122
0xe09b BND_5G | BW_80 | SB_LL | 155

I'm a bit disappointed seeing this FullMAC firmware doing such tricks
on its own. I would prefer to simply relay on hostapd doing this kind
of channel switching. I saw many times hostapd e.g. respecting my
40/80 MHz channel but switching control one in order to avoid
collisions with another AP's control frames on the same frequency.

On the other hand I never got this problem with BCM43602 using
Broadcom's official firmware, so it's some new feature you enabled
when building brcmfmac4366b-pcie.bin.

I don't have any experience with P2P, thanks a lot for pointing this to me!
