What we *could* do instead is use "channel->orig_flags" here instead to
fix the iwlwifi issue, and allow HT40 RX for when the driver/device has
no limitations (and the HT40 restriction would be regulatory only), but
I'm not sure I see much value in that? That might enable HT40 RX (not
TX) for some devices on those Korean HT40 APs though, but it'd also be
somewhat tricky in the code and more or less relying on cfg80211
internals ... I'd prefer not to introduce these kinds of subtle
differences between devices but if somebody has strong objections to the
patch as is I'd be willing to change it.
