Thank you for the feedback.

I agree it is clearer to apply a positive list of valid channel widths rather
than excluding specific ones. I will update v2 accordingly, and drop
NL80211_CHAN_WIDTH_20_NOHT from the current patch as well. This ensures only
the valid set is accepted, while preventing the WARN_ON from being triggered.

Best regards,
