[wireless-regdb] [PATCH] dbparse: remove usable bandwidth check

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg at intel.com>

The kernel uses the bandwidth this way: any frequency
rule that is required for any of the 20 MHz subchannels
of a given channel must allow the total bandwidth.
Therefore, this check is wrong -- a frequency rule may
need to be specified with higher bandwidth than it has
to allow to form e.g. HT40 out of subchannels.

John, this patch needs to be applied before the other one so the new
db.txt will be parsed successfully.
