By default the 5G band has an advantage of 8 dBm on the RSSI when
it comes to selection during join and roam. This patch adds a
module param to make this value configurable. Using the value 99
results in configuration that 5G has always preference over 2.4G.

I'm not sure here, is a module parameter really the right way to
configure something like this?
