Currently, the only situation in which channels are duplicated is when there's 
an 11g mode registered. The scanning code in ieee80211_sta.c 
(ieee80211_sta_scan_work) checks for this specifically:

(local->hw_modes & local->enabled_modes & (1 << MODE_IEEE80211G) &&
 mode->mode == MODE_IEEE80211B)

MODE_IEEE80211B is skipped if MODE_IEEE80211G is enabled. Modes should be 
skipped instead of channels.

This looks somewhat awkward. How about something like:

int j = 0;
(check if this mode is disabled or duplicates channels here)
while (j++ < mode->num_channels && c++ < IW_MAX_FREQUENCIES) {

Should be fine to just put all the logic here. No other code will use that 
function.
