I just did the following

#define CHANSEL_2G_9485(_freq) ((((freq) * 0x10000) - 215) / CHANSEL_DIV)
 for (i = 0; i < 14; i++) {
               freq = 2412 + (i * 5);
               printk("chan %d : %x \n",i + 1,CHANSEL_2G_9485(freq));
      }

output:

chan 1 : a0ccbe
chan 2 : a12213
chan 3 : a17769
chan 4 : a1ccbe
chan 5 : a22213
chan 6 : a27769
chan 7 : a2ccbe
chan 8 : a32213
chan 9 : a37769
chan 10 : a3ccbe
chan 11 : a42213
chan 12 : a47769
chan 13 : a4ccbe
chan 14 : a52213
