This reverts commit fa21c7a9e4be439e217fe72edbd39b643b643791.

The reverted patch caused more harm than benefit.

Just couple words what harm it was?

The harm is that the supported channels are reported to user-space in
the order they are registered in the driver. The result of that is quite
messy in userspace PoV.

Thank you for answer.

The reason of doing such channel sorting was channel overlapping.

Let's say for 11a (bandwidth 20MHz) it is not a problem.
While 11g, preferred channel sorting would be 1,6,11,...
