wifi: wireless: correct primary channel validation on 6 GHz
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The check that beacon primary channel is in the range of 80 MHz
(abs < 80) is invalid for 320 MHz since duplicate beacon transmit
means that the AP transmits it on all the 20 MHz sub-channels:

  9.4.2.249 HE Operation element - ... AP transmits Beacon frames in
  non-HT duplicate PPDU with a TXVECTOR parameter CH_BANDWIDTH value
  that is up to the BSS bandwidth.

So in case of 320 MHz the DUP beacon can be in upper 160 for primary
channel in the lower 160 giving possibly an absolute range of over
80 MHz.

Also this check is redundant alltogether, if AP has a wrong primary
channel in the beacon it's a faulty AP, and we would fail in next
steps to connect.

While at it, fix the frequency comparison to no longer compare
between KHz and MHz, which was introduced by commit 7f599ae
("cfg80211: Use the HE operation IE to determine a 6GHz BSS channel").
