3 starting with firmware 10.4.3.4.x series QCA changed the handling of the channel property band_center_freq1 and band_center_freq2 in vht160 operation mode
4 likelly for backward compatiblity with vht80 only capable clients.
5 this patch adjusts the handling to get vht160 to work again with official qca firmwares newer than 3.3
6 consider that this patch will not work with older firmwares anymore. to avoid undefined behaviour this we disable vht160 capability for outdated firmwares
