The internal channelFlags/related macros are extremely messy.
The ugliness arose from the requirement for differentiating between
modes (11a, 11g, 11ng etc..) and legacy cruft.  mac80211 has no concept of modes,
it has bands instead. I do understand your concern though. But fixing
this cleanly would mean that we rewrite the entire channel handling
mechanism, any band-aid can only be a hack at best.

But yes, maybe we can hold this until everything is cleaned up.
And this has been in the ath9k TODO page for quite some time. :)
