Subject: [PATCH 6.0 243/862] wifi: mac80211: allow bw change during channel switch in mesh

From: Hari Chandrakanthan <quic_haric@...cinc.com>

[ Upstream commit 6b75f133fe05c36c52d691ff21545d5757fff721 ]

>>From 'IEEE Std 802.11-2020 section 11.8.8.4.1':
  The mesh channel switch may be triggered by the need to avoid
  interference to a detected radar signal, or to reassign mesh STA
  channels to ensure the MBSS connectivity.

  A 20/40 MHz MBSS may be changed to a 20 MHz MBSS and a 20 MHz
  MBSS may be changed to a 20/40 MHz MBSS.

Since the standard allows the change of bandwidth during
the channel switch in mesh, remove the bandwidth check present in
ieee80211_set_csa_beacon.
