I believe the cfg80211/nl80211 changes is probably the bulk of the
work that does need to get done. Someone motivated just needs to do
it.

Is there any detailed documentation on the internals of ath5k code?

1. Description of the data structures
2. Flow-diagram of function calls
3. What register is used for what aspect of WiFi etc etc

Thanks

Nope (I think you'll find this is true of most/all drivers).

Most of the intelligence is in the upper layers (mac80211), which are
documented on http://wireless.kernel.org/.  Most of the work to enable
it will be in those layers, as Luis said.  BTW search the list, several
people have proposed ideas for an infrastructure for channel width
setting.
