Although Phattanon didn't post a patch I interpreted it as he was
suggesting we can enable 40 MHz channels on Thailand as well since he
points out that Thailand regulatory rules refer to the FCC for
bandwidth compliance.

Michael does this interpretation match yours? Can we allow 40 MHz in TH?

Phattanon also specified some differences on max EIRP but I think that
should go as a separate patch and reviewed as such.
