The other reason for this, of course, is that I'm starting to work on
VHT channel configuration, and that can't be using the channel type enum
any more, so the internal APIs all have to change.

Since this really won't be needed for other channel types (for now),
I've decided to remove it instead rather than make my life more complex
with VHT. :)
