After connection, mac80211 will track bandwidth changes upon
beacon's CRC is changed. But it will stop tracking bandwidth
changes when these is no HT Operation element.
According to the section 9.4.2.311 in IEEE P802.11be draft 4.0:
The operation of EHT STAs in an EHT BSS is controlled by the following:
-'The HT Operation element, HE Operation element, and EHT
Operation element if operating in the 2.4 GHz band'
-'The HT Operation element, VHT Operation element (if present),
HE Operation element, and EHT Operation element if operating
in the 5 GHz band'
-'The HE Operation element and EHT Operation element if
operating in the 6 GHz band'
For 6 GHz band, beacon doesn't contain HT Operation element. Therefore,
current checking code needs to be changed.
