cfg80211: check allowed channel type upon userspace requests
Thanks to nl80211 userspace can be very specific upon device configuration. Before processing the request for the new HT40 channel types (HT40- or HT40+) we need to ensure we can use them regulatory-wise. This wasn't required with wireless extensions as specifying the channel type wasn't not available and configuration was done towards the end implicitly upon association or reception of beacons from the AP. For the new nl80211 we have to check this when configuring the interfaces explicitly. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
