This is scenario:

1) first ibss HT20 run on 5180
2) second ibss configured HT40+ using 36 channel
3) supplicant detect OBSS and decide to switch 40 and HT40-
4) this code confgure chandef->center_freq1 = 5170
5) reg_can_beacon() then fail and we fall back to NOHT_20

So, with patch we will configure center_freq1 connectly and could work
using HT40, no matter we will configure primary/secondary channel as a
control one.
So, we could have same problems when VHT80 will be used - different
control channels configured. With patch even we have different control
channel configured, will fix this and could connect correctly. I am
not sure this is best option here but allow to work.
