Refinement to PR #25

Original Patch I refused EVERY 5 GHz scan (n_channels > 0); this blocked NM/wpa_supplicant per-frequency BSS discovery and broke 5 GHz association entirely. Tightened the guard to n_channels > 1 so single-channel scans pass through. Verified on ohm with locally-built pkgrel=3: 5 GHz association works (BSSID c0:25:06:e6:5b:33, 5240 MHz/ch.48, 150 Mbit/s MCS 7 HT40 short-GI vs 72.2 Mbit/s on 2.4 GHz). Pattern A still 0/h since boot.

Updates both and patch files. The patch file is now two From: blocks from (093a503 + 8cd10f4); applies sequentially so net effect is identical to a single squashed patch.

PKGBUILD side: commit 122582e bumps pkgrel to 3 with the matching b2sum.

patches/driver/bes2600: scan-filter-5ghz refinement — allow targeted single-channel scans 43c8f0cba8

Updates both flavors with the n_channels > 1 refinement (was > 0).
The original guard refused ALL 5 GHz scans which broke 5 GHz
association via NM band=a profiles (NM iterates freq_list per
channel, single-channel scans were also refused).

Tightened: only multi-channel 5 GHz scans (the per-band-sweep
that triggers the firmware storm) are refused; single-channel
5 GHz scans pass through so NM/wpa_supplicant can find and
associate to 5 GHz BSSes.

Verified on ohm with locally-built pkgrel=3 (srcversion
BEB625FA7443171EA8D55F7): associated to 5 GHz BSSID
c0:25:06:e6:5b:33 on 5240 MHz / ch.48, 150 Mbit/s MCS 7
40MHz short-GI; Pattern A still 0 since boot.

Patch file is now a concatenation of two commits from
marfrit/bes2600-dkms bes2600/scan-filter-5ghz branch:
  093a503 (original Patch I)
  8cd10f4 (this refinement)
patch -Np1 applies them sequentially -> net effect = single squash.
