This diff reads fine to me but I cannot test it. I have an AP which
is supposed to support 160MHz channels but even when I enable this
feature this AP only ever announces 80MHz in VHTOP.

As far as I understand, wireshark should show wlan.vhtop.channelwidth
in the AP's beacon set to 2 during 160MHz operation.
I only ever see it set to 1 on my APs.

Can anyone confirm seeing tcpbench throughput higher than 400 Mbps with
this diff? I expect it should go as high as 500 to 600, since we are
currently capped at about 350 with 80 Mhz channels.
