Subject: [033/129] ath9k_htc: Fix disconnect issue in HT40 mode.

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

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

From: Vivek Natarajan <vnatarajan@...eros.com>

commit 71ba186c123630ddab17667ec9ecf7e2ef211295 upstream.

Some APs advertise that they may be HT40 capable in the capabilites
but the current operating channel configuration may be only HT20.
This causes disconnection as ath9k_htc sets WLAN_RC_40_FLAG despite
the AP operating in HT20 mode.
Hence set this flag only if the current channel configuration
is HT40 enabled.
