Subject: [004/156] mac80211: Fix HT rate control configuration

2.6.33-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Sujith <Sujith.Manoharan@...eros.com>

commit 4fa004373133ece3d9b1c0a7e243b0e53760b165 upstream.

Handling HT configuration changes involved setting the channel
with the new HT parameters and then issuing a rate_update()
notification to the driver.

This behavior changed after the off-channel changes. Now, the channel
is not updated with the new HT params in enable_ht() - instead, it
is now done when the scan work terminates. This results in the driver
depending on stale information, defaulting to non-HT mode always.

Fix this by passing the new channel type to the driver.
