I was negatively surprised by this as I had `VHT160-80PLUS80` in my hostapd config file, and the AP worked just fine, and stopped working after upgrading the machine to v6.3.

I do understand that the chip doesn't support 80+80, and my AP just works in VHT160 mode, so replacing `VHT160-80PLUS80` with `VHT160` in the config fixed the issue for me. Thanks for bringing BW160 back later in c2f73eacee3b.

But I do want to point out that the commit message should explain the reason for removal. Also, I'm one of those users of:

```
01:00.0 Unclassified device [0002]: MEDIATEK Corp. MT7915E 802.11ax PCI Express Wireless Network Adapter
```

for whom BW160 works just fine.

Thanks.
