In mac80211 have a module parameter "ieee80211_disable_40mhz_24ghz"
which, for backward compatibility reasons, actually defaults to false,
so you need to set it to true to get a compliant system. When a system
is integrated, this parameter can be set as default.

I don't think it really is necessary to set this at runtime.

I guess I see two options:
 1) move the module parameter to cfg80211, and check the sdata HT config
    in the driver again when this is needed
 2) have your own module parameter like it

The first would be slightly more generic, but an OEM integrating a
device into their system and doing WFA testing will do device-specific
things anyway ...
