For 2.4 GHz this seems fine. For 5 GHz, just to clarify for Michael,
the changes you are making are for non-DFS channels, and for the
channels where we always never initiate radiation and just world roam
unless we get a beacon hint. That is the world regulatory domain
enabled 5 GHz channels that are non-DFS.

Michael, just a sanity check for you. What Johannes is saying is that
regulatory wise for the 2.4 GHz band on channels 1-11 and on 5 GHz on
non DFS channels where we never initiate radiation we don't have a
specific bandwidth restriction. Are you aware of any country
restricting any 5 GHz world roaming frequency (non DFS) or channel
1-11 on 2.4 GHz in terms of bandwidth used?
