For some reason this got backported into the stable kernel:

```
$ git log --oneline v6.5.2..v6.5.4 -- drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/mt7915/
c43017fbebcc3 wifi: mt76: mt7915: fix power-limits while chan_switch

70bbcc4ad6544 wifi: mt76: mt7915: fix background radar event being blocked
```

and this broke my mt7915-based AP.

However, if I remove `[VT160]` capability from the hostapd config, things go back to normal. It does seem that 160 MHz still works even.

Is this expected?

Please check.

Thanks.
