Problem changing bw in 5.19 related to EHT?

From what I can tell, my 160Mhz STA was not properly connecting to a 160Mhz AP
because ieee80211_determine_chantype was not ORing in the IEEE80211_STA_DISABLE_EHT
flag.  eht_oper is NULL in my case, as this is an AX radio on both sides.

The change below allows the STA to connect for me.  I'm not sure if this
is the best fix or not, however....any opinions?

Thanks,
Ben

Hello Johannes,

Any opinion on this?

Thanks,
Ben
