mac80211: allow disabling 40MHz on 2.4GHz

In some situations it is required that a system be configured with no support for 40 MHz channels in the 2.4 GHz band. Rather than imposing any such restrictions on everybody, allow configuration a system like that with a module parameter. It is writable at runtime but only takes effect at the time of the next association. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
