Hi Johannes,

Sorry, my bad. Could you please review the v2 below?

Subject: [PATCH v2] cfg80211: module_param to disable HT40 in 2.4GHz band

Currently mac80211 uses ieee80211_disable_40mhz_24ghz module
parameter to allow disabling 40MHz operation in the 2.4GHz band.
Move this handling from mac80211 to cfg80211 so that the feature
will be more generic.

v2: the check for disabling HT40 was wrong in v1. v2 fixes that.
    No need to export the symbol as sband->ht_cap already has it.
v1: move disable_40mhz_24ghz module parameter from mac80211 to cfg80211
