I somehow did not receive your reply, so I've just read it on the archives.

I think it would be best to keep the '> 14 if block' for now and
remove all of them in a later patch-series (I assume there will
be more of them).

You could also remove the condition and just set
the band to WIRELESS_INVALID unconditionally as you
suggest, that is fine.

But if you keep the condition, like you did in v1 of the
patch, then you must pack the 2 masks together.
