MT7621: WDS with channel width > 20 MHz and AX not working in newer snapshots

[iamunknown]

@ThiloteE

If you remove option he_bss_color '42' from your config files completely, using the 802.11ax protocol, option he_bss_color will automatically be enabled and the radios will be given a randomized number between 1-63.

You are right, after finding this patch for hostapd it's clear that a number > 63 is used to generate a random number, but it's impossible to know without finding this patch.

Fingers crossed this makes it into 23.05.0 RC3

I'm quite sure that the driver bugfixes will be included in 23.05. And if you are insane enough (like me) to use a snapshot or RC release for your productive network you have to life with such kind of issues (for a while) .

@nbd I also tested your latest commit in mt76 repo on my WSM20 (WDS STA) and the WDS AP (ASUS RT-AX53U with an older snapshot version) rebooted after forcing 40 MHz channel width and when the Zyxel finished the reconnection process (I've set a trigger to the LEDs for the WDS STA radio at the Zyxel) - but I'm unable to reproduce it so probably a false alarm.
