Subject: [PATCH v4] cfg80211: regulatory introduce maximum bandwidth calculation

In case we will get regulatory request with rule
where max_bandwidth_khz is set to 0 handle this
case as a special one.

If max_bandwidth_khz == 0 we should calculate maximum
available bandwidth base on all frequency contiguous rules.
In case we need auto calculation we just have to set:

country PL: DFS-ETSI
(2402 - 2482 @ 40), (N/A, 20)
(5170 - 5250 @ AUTO), (N/A, 20)
(5250 - 5330 @ AUTO), (N/A, 20), DFS
(5490 - 5710 @ 80), (N/A, 27), DFS

This mean we will calculate maximum bw for rules where
AUTO (N/A) were set, 160MHz (5330 - 5170) in example above.
So we will get:
(5170 - 5250 @ 160), (N/A, 20)
(5250 - 5330 @ 160), (N/A, 20), DFS

In other case:
country FR: DFS-ETSI
(2402 - 2482 @ 40), (N/A, 20)
(5170 - 5250 @ AUTO), (N/A, 20)
(5250 - 5330 @ 80), (N/A, 20), DFS
(5490 - 5710 @ 80), (N/A, 27), DFS

We will get 80MHz (5250 - 5170):
(5170 - 5250 @ 80), (N/A, 20)
(5250 - 5330 @ 80), (N/A, 20), DFS

Base on this calculations we will set correct channel
bandwidth flags (eg. IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_80MHZ).

We don't need any changes in CRDA or internal regulatory.

It seems rather odd to have to look up the regdomain here, when we
actually came from a regdomain update originally. Or didn't we?

In the handle_channel() function we don't know regd.

reg_rule = freq_reg_info(wiphy, MHZ_TO_KHZ(chan->center_freq));

from handle_channel() also look up the regdomain.
So, I did the same.

Yeah I thought we had it in the callers, maybe not then.

That also seems like a problem.

So, we can always add NL80211_ATTR_FREQ_RANGE_MAX_BW set as 0 in crda.
Then all channels where BW=0 will be HT20 only for old kernel.

Old wireless-regdb also allow 0 :-) (the same case like last one)

Old-kernel + new wireless-regdb + new crda.
In case of AUTO we will not set NL80211_ATTR_FREQ_RANGE_MAX_BW we will
get -EINVAL

Old-kernel + new wireless-regd + old crda (will send 0):
We will set on channels: IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_HT40 |
IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_HT80 | IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_HT160
So, all channels where BW=0 will be HT20 only - isn't that default?

What happens if an old kernel gets a new wireless-regdb with AUTO on
all of its 5 GHz regdomain for the country it using ? I see no mention
of this anywhere in the documentation and at least from the code
review I just did it seemed like we'd use 0. I hope I'm wrong as
otherwise that'd introduce a severe regression when this is introduced
to wireless-regdb.

That seems like a problem.
