    ath6kl: Remove old 802.11a-only channels · b51040fc
    Rostyslav Khudolii authored
    Channels 34/38/42/46 can only be used for compatibility with old devices sold
    in Japan. Modern products, such as AR6003/AR6004 don't support these channels.
    Keeping them in the upstream is error prone and requires full network stack
    support. A custom patch should be used in case such compatibility is required.
    
    Without this one, a user is able to start an AP using wpa_supplicant,
    for example, on one of these channels (34/38/42/46), without getting
    any warning/error from the cfg80211 or ath6kl - which is correct
    (since these channels match regdom rules). However, the AR6003 and its
    firmware (we're using v3.4.0.225) will fail and return
    "WMI_CMDERROR_EVENTID" with "INVALID_PARAM" error code.
