This is that hack we discussed some time ago on how to disable the 11a
channels.  We only know that they're not supported after the driver is
loaded and the supported channels are already registered.  We get the
info that the 11a are not supported in the calibration data that we
receive later.

See commit fb6a6819fad0d71b47577a51709440a9f8441f0a.

Earlier I was disabling the channels by setting the DISABLED flag, but
that was bad, because I was touching regulatory stuff and it was causing
other problems.
