cfg80211: change bandwidth reporting to explicit field
For some reason, we made the bandwidth separate flags, which is rather confusing - a single rate cannot have different bandwidths at the same time. Change this to no longer be flags but use a separate field for the bandwidth ('bw') instead. While at it, add support for 5 and 10 MHz rates - these are reported as regular legacy rates with their real bitrate, but tagged as 5/10 now to make it easier to distinguish them. In the nl80211 API, the flags are preserved, but the code now can also clearly only set a single one of the flags. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
