mac80211: fix 2.4 GHz 40 MHz disabling
The module parameter ieee80211_disable_40mhz_24ghz was meant to allow disabling 40 MHz operation in the 2.4 GHz band by default. However, it is buggy as implemented because while it advertises to the AP that the device doesn't support 40 MHz, it will itself still use 40 MHz configurations. To fix this, clear the 40 MHz bits from the sband completely instead of overriding where used. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
