What is the use case for this? IEEE 802.11 standard mandates certain
20/40 MHz co-existence requirements and this patch seems to be providing
a mechanism to not comply with those requirements. I'm not planning on
applying changes to be non-compliant with those rules. Furthermore, this
description is not really accurate since HT can be enabled on a 20 MHz
channel. I'd assume this was supposed to say force HT40 while ignoring
what is operating on neighboring channels.
