This code has no integration with mac80211 regulatory other than supplying regulatory hints, and thus each implementation operates independently of the other, enforcing conflicting sets of rules. This series of patches converts brcmsmac to relying on the mac80211 regulatory implementation. The X2 domain is registered with mac80211, and brcmsmac is converted to using the constraints from mac80211 for hardware configuration. Much code is removed in the process :) There is one holdover from the old regulatory implementation. The MIMO tx power limits for brcmsmac are still being configured based on internal data for the X2 domain. Arend is trying to find out how these need to be handled, but this can be changed at a later time. Also worth noting is that support for the 5GHz DFS channels is removed since the driver doesn't currently support DFS or radar detection. Arend: This should have all the changes discussed on the RFC patch review, but let me know if I missed anything. There are two new patches, one to break out the removal of the 40MHz channel code into a separate patch and another to remove the DFS channels until something can be done about DFS or radar detection. I went ahead and added the Reviewed-by tags you supplied to the remainder, but pretty much all the patches after the first two have changed to varying degrees, so please have another look.
