From: Tova Mussai <tova.mussai@xxxxxxxxx> When NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_CHANNEL_TYPE is given, nl80211 would parse the channel definition the old way, discarding NL80211_ATTR_CENTER_FREQ1, NL80211_ATTR_CENTER_FREQ2 etc. However, it is possible that user space added both NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_CHANNEL_TYPE and NL80211_ATTR_CENTER_FREQ1 or NL80211_ATTR_CENTER_FREQ2 assuming that all settings would be honored. In such a case, validate that NL80211_ATTR_CENTER_FREQ1 and NL80211_ATTR_CENTER_FREQ2 values match the channel configuration, as otherwise user space would assume that the desired configuration was applied. For example, when trying to start ap with NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_CHANNEL_TYPE = NL80211_CHAN_HT40MINUS, NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_FREQ = 5180 and NL80211_ATTR_CENTER_FREQ1 = 5250 without this fix, the ap will start on channel 36 (center_freq1 will be corrected to 5180). With this fix, we will throw an error instead.
