From
Subject[RFC] Try multiple bandwidths when checking usable channels.
Date
Current code checks if the 20MHz bandwidth is allowed for
particular channel -- if it is not, the channel is disabled.
This disables usage of 5/10 MHz channels.

The new approach is that there are multiple checks for one channel --
one for each bandwidth: 5, 10, 20, 40, 80, 160 MHz (when we hit a
bandwidth that is not allowed, greater bandwidths are automaticly
disabled as well). This prevents the following scenario to happen:
The 5 MHz bandwidth channel at the very end of the band is
successfully checked which is followed by setting flags
IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_* according to the maximum bandwidth allowed by the
particular regulatory rule (which may be greater than the 5 MHz).
When someone will try to use the channel with the maximum bandwidth
allowed (e.g. 20 MHz), the resulting channel will not be in the range
of the band anymore.
