Not all devices are really capable of implementing
remain-on-channel, even if it is implemented in SW,
as they can't necessarily deal with channel changes

Remove the WIPHY_FLAG_HAS_REMAIN_ON_CHANNEL and add
it only if either the driver has remain_on_channel
implemented in the driver/device.

Also add it to all drivers that advertise P2P right
now since those definitely have to have it working.

go there. Also iwlegacy wouldn't like offchannel much, and doesn't need
it since it'll never have P2P anyway.
Yes, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work as is with wl1251.  So, let's
leave it out.

Otherwise, for the wl12xx part:
