It would be good to update that P802.11ax reference to point to a newer
version that actually matches the changed implementation, i.e., IEEE
P802.11ax/D6.1, 27.3.23.2.

What about operating class 136 channel 2 with channel starting frequency
of 5925 MHz? This would map 5935 MHz incorrectly.

Same here for the reference.
