[PATCH 06/13] wifi: nl80211: send iface combination to user space in multi-hardware wiphy

From: Vasanthakumar Thiagarajan <quic_vthiagar at quicinc.com>
As originally discussed in the RFC [1], add a new nested attribute to the
existing NL80211_CMD_NEW_WIPHY command. This attribute should advertise the
iface combination capability for each underlying physical hardware device.
This is necessary when the driver groups more than one physical hardware
under single wiphy.

Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.1.1-00188-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
