[RFC] cfg80211: allow HT20 channels on devices incabable of HT40

[RFC] cfg80211: allow HT20 channels on devices incabable of HT40

[Helmut Schaa]

I was just trying to set up a rt2800 AP but hostapd was unable to
set the channel when configuring 11n.

rt2800 doesn't support HT40 yet, that's why it doesn't set
IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40 and cfg80211 refuses to set the
channel when the device doesn't support IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40
even if  a HT20 only channel should be set.

Did I miss anything or should it be allowed to set a HT20 channel
on a HT capable device that doesn't allow HT40?
