Hi,

Send patches inline, please. Preferably via git send-email. It's a lot
easier to review them this way.

Why? Is this really necessary?

I would expect IEEE80211_VHT_CAP_SUPP_CHAN_WIDTH_160MHZ and
IEEE80211_VHT_CAP_SUPP_CHAN_WIDTH_160_80PLUS80MHZ to be already set in
ar->vht_cap_info if the chip supports 160 or 80+80.

You also don't seem to handle 80+80 because you just as phymode to 160
regardless of center frequencies:

You should probably look at sta->vht_cap and associated chanctx to
check if it isn't 80+80.
