This would need much more detailed commit message to justify why this is
needed and why this is appropriate behavior. How is this specific to
Intel cards? Why would an AP be allowed to operate on the 5 GHz band
based on just a single scan if it was not allowed to do so without that
scan?

And this format is pretty strange and requires manual operations to
apply with 'git am'.
