ath10k supports VHT on 2.4Ghz band.
If supplicant and hostapd and radio think
VHT should be allowed, then kernel should let them
try.

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.

Maybe someone can fix the regulatory logic then?

Add a no-vht flag or whatever?

Any idea which countries this applies to?

Thanks,
Ben
