To support network namespace the driver must assure all created
network interfaces are in the same namespace as the wiphy instance
and flag the support using WIPHY_FLAG_NETNS_OK.

Verified using two terminals:

 Terminal 1 Terminal 2
 -------------------------- ---------------------------------
 # ip netns add brcm-wifi # iw dev
phy#0
Interface wlan3
ifindex 11
wdev 0x1
 # ip netns exec brcm-wifi bash
 # iw dev
 # echo $$
 20337 # iw phy0 set netns 20337
 # iw dev
 phy#0
Interface wlan3
ifindex 11
wdev 0x2
 # iw phy0 interface add wl3.ap type __ap
 # iw dev
 phy#0
Interface wl3.ap
ifindex 2
wdev 0x3
Interface wlan3
ifindex 11
wdev 0x2
# iw dev
 # iw phy0 set netns 1
 # iw dev
# iw dev
phy#0
Interface wl3.ap
ifindex 2
wdev 0x5
Interface wlan3
ifindex 11
wdev 0x4

Note:
increasing wdev identifier above indicates issue in
cfg80211 which is addressed separately.
