Thanks for the patch. There are a couple of issues though, plus a
question.

First, this project requires that you add a Signed-off-by tag to the
commit message to acknowledge your agreement to the Developer
Certificate of Origin. Please see the CONTRIBUTING file for more
information.

Second, the patch is not in the correct format. It looks like to me you
pasted the output from git-show, which resulted in mangled white space
and other issues. Please use git-format-patch to create the patch, then
send it using git-send-email or else send the patch as an attachment.

Why isn't 80MHz channel bandwidth allowed in the 5650-5730 range?

Thanks,
Seth
