If the hardware supports a disabled channel, it may in some cases be possible to use monitor mode (without any transmit) on it when it's otherwise disabled. Add a new channel flag IEEE80211_CHAN_CAN_MONITOR that makes it possible for a driver to indicate such a thing. Make it per channel so drivers could have a choice with it, perhaps it's only possible on some channels, perhaps some channels are not supported at all, but still there and marked disabled. In _nl80211_parse_chandef() simplify the code and check only for an unknown channel, _cfg80211_chandef_usable() will later check for IEEE80211_CHAN_DISABLED anyway.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
