Seems cfg80211 max bandwidth calculation is best option here.

We should set BW as is in old regulatory (skip this BW=0 patches) -
will work fine with old kernels.
And in new regulatory add RULE flag NL80211_RRF_AUTO_BW, which will be
checked in newer kernels and if AUTO_BW flag we will skip (end_freq -
start_freq < bw) check and calculate maximum available bandwidth. What
you think?
