Subject: [PATCH 04/50] ACS: Allow selecting a better channel when using
40/80/160 MHz
When considering a channel for a bandwidth of 40/80/160 MHZ on the 5 GHz
or 6 GHz band, allow selecting one of the other channels in the segment
instead of the first one. This is done only if the other channel's
interference_factor is lower than the first one's.
