This is wrong, the AP can certainly support HT40/HT20 and switch between them
dynamically - this patch changes how ath9k reacts to channel switching.

The AP can switch its operating channel to HT20 - but the HT40 supported bit
will _still_ be set. Can you capture the association sequence and check the
HT_INFO IE ( which is different from HT CAP) ?
