An S1G BSS can beacon at either 1 or 2 MHz and the channel
width is unique to a given frequency. Ignore scan channel
width for now and use the allowed channel width.

nit: double space after 'goto'

but really I came to say that this probably changes then, if you don't
convince me about the stuff in the previous patch review? :)

So I'm leaving this patch also for now - have applied 1-5 so far.

Thanks. I'm not really sure what else would make sense here? scan_req->scan_width is constant across all channels in scan_req->channels so for S1G we can either filter the scan_req channels list based on scan_width (kind of strange and unexpected), or deduce the correct chanenl width for each channel in the list and ignore scan_width (mostly correct). It seems like scan_width is currently only used for scanning at 5 or 10MHz anyway?
