+    ath9k_hw: reduce ANI spur immunity setting on HT40 extension channel
+    
+    The cycpwr_thr1 value needs to be lower on the extension channel than on
+    the control channel, similar to how the register settings are programmed
+    in the initvals.
+    
+    Also drop the unnecessary check for HT40 - this register can always be
+    written. This patch has been reported to improve HT40 stability and
+    throughput in some environments.
