In the case of Station connects to AP with narrower bandwidth at beginning.
And later the AP changes the bandwidth to winder bandwidth, the AP will
beacon with wider bandwidth IE, eg VHT20->VHT40->VHT80 or VHT40->VHT80.
Since the supported BANDWIDTH will be limited by the PHYMODE, so while
Station receives the bandwidth change request, it will also need to
reconfigure the PHYMODE setting to firmware instead of just configuring
the BANDWIDTH info, otherwise it'll trigger a firmware crash with
non-support bandwidth.
The issue was observed in WLAN.RM.4.4.1-00051-QCARMSWP-1, QCA6174 with
below scenario.
