HE (802.11ax) is also supported on 2.4GHz. And the 2.4GHz band isn't
supposed to use VHT opers. Some codepaths in wpa_supplicant will therefore
not initialize the freq->bandwidth or the freq->center_freq1/2 members. As
a result, the nl80211_put_freq_params will directly return an error (-1) or
the kernel will return an error due to the invalid channel definition.

Instead, the channel definitions should be created based on the actual
HT/VHT/none information on 2.4GHz.

Fixes: ad9a1bfe788e ("nl80211: Share VHT channel configuration for HE")

v3:
* differentiate between 2.4GHz and 5GHz HE implementation as requested by
  John Crispin
v2:
* Fix Signed-off-by

Thanks, applied.
