device: Workaround for 0 oper class in Neighbor Report

Browse Source 
Some APs respond to Neighbor Report Requests with neighbor reports that
have a zero operating class value and a non-zero channel number.  This
does not mean that the channel is in the same band that the reporting
AP operates in.  Try to guess the band that the channel refers to out of
2.4 and 5GHz -- the bands supported by those APs.

wpa_supplicant also has this workaround in place.
