Drivers may need to know this variable value for configuring the
device they are controlling. It can be determined indirectly by
setting IEEE80211_HT_CAP_SUP_WIDTH_20_40 flag in the field
ieee80211_sta_htcap::cap of 2G band. During the wiphy_register()
call cfg80211 will clear that bit if the module parameter is true.
However, brcmfmac for one needs to know the value to determine
its custom regulatory domain which must be applied before doing
the wiphy_register().

Hi Johannes,
In brcmfmac I need to know the value of cfg80211 module parameter
as stated in the commit message. Just taking a shot at how to get
this exposed. I was reluctant exporting the module parameter itself.
Regards,
Arend
