interface by default, which implicitly consumes one vdev. On systems
managed by NetworkManager, this interface cannot be reliably disabled,
leaving only two usable interfaces for user configurations.
Increase num_vdevs to four for QCA6390 hw2.0, WCN6855 hw2.0/hw2.1,
QCA2066 hw2.1, and QCA6698AQ hw2.1 to account for the implicit
p2p-device and enable common concurrency scenarios such as AP + AP + STA.
This change increases interface concurrency in the two-channel scenario
by raising the maximum vdev limit, while keeping other combination rules
unchanged.
