of_propeirty_read_u32 is static inline in of.h calling
of_property_read_u32_array, which has a dummy variant in of.h returning
-ENOSYS so -38. Pretty sure that is not what you want. At least it does
not allow the compiler to drop any code so probably better to do:

if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_OF) || !np)
	return true;

So with this patch you change the channel to DISABLED. I am not very
familiar with reg.c so do you know if this is done before or after
calling regulatory notifier in the driver. brcmfmac will enable channels
querying the device upon regulatory notifier call, which may undo the
behavior introduced by your patch.

Arend
