Due to the restrict in MAC80211 that DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection)

support 2 channels for single pdev device") removes DFS support in order
to support 2 channels concurrently, making AP mode not working on DFS
channels [1].

Revert portions of that commit to bring DFS back, and add a new
combination to support 2-channels concurrency. This is valid because the
MAC80211 restrict works on each individual combination, but does not care
about them as a whole, as far as DFS is concerned.

This change applies to WCN7850 only, other chips are not affected.

Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.1.c5-00284.1-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-3
