Yes, it is 2014. Each interface only has one channel at 2014.
I did not hit issue for the code.

the story is like this:
When station interface and p2p device interface both running.
the station connect to MLO AP which has 2 links.
The ieee80211_link_use_channel()/ieee80211_check_combinations() call 
cfg80211_check_combinations()
for the channel1 and channel2 because total==2.
When only station interface is running, not called for channel1/channel2 
because total==1.
That is the little thing I hit.
