Removing the 80Mhz check entirely is not the right way to go IMO. The
check is there because there are countries where VHT rates are not
allowed, even on 20MHz channels. We use the fact these countries have
no 80MHz-allowed ranges as a crude regulatory hint to disable VHT
entirely. I'm not sure about the regulatory landscape in these
countries regarding VHT in 2.4GHz, but please don't break compliance
for the 5Ghz use-case.
