Here is the capabilities list from an mac80211_hwsim driver.

I am curious what information this is actually trying to convey.

For instance, why is AP in two different places, with different values (2048 in first section, 8 in second) ?

valid interface combinations:
* #{ IBSS } <= 1, #{ managed, AP, mesh point, P2P-client, P2P-GO } <= 2048,
total <= 2048, #channels <= 1
* #{ AP } <= 8,
total <= 8, #channels <= 1, radar detect widths: { 20 MHz (no HT), 20 MHz, 40 MHz, 80 MHz, 160 MHz }

Thanks,
Ben

That was probably just a copy-paste error -- check the commit that introduced it, I'm guessing it came from ath10k or so.
