Subject: [RFD] mac80211: Handling local operating class in (E)CSA

Hi,

Some AP's use local operating class in (E)CSA IE's. Currently
mac80211 fails the parsing of those IE's and results in a
disconnection.

What is the best way to add support for local operating classes?

a) Maintaining a per country operating class table in cfg80211

b) Embed operating class info in regdb.txt (crda)

c) Remove the usage of band to calculate frequency? I dont know
of a generic formula to calculate this across bands. So not possible.
