If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Johannes Berg commit 9f16d84ad73ea04145a5dc85c8f1067915b37eea upstream. Due to nl80211 API breakage, 5/10 MHz support is broken for all drivers. Fixing it requires adding new API, but that can't be done as a bugfix commit since that would require either updating all APIs in the trees needing the bugfix or cause different kernels to have incompatible API. Therefore, just disable 5/10 MHz support for all drivers.
