It looks like wl1251 driver supports standard way to set 
regulatory settings. There is application which reads CAL data, 
cellular network info, ... and sent it to kernel (via Nokia 
specific netlink interface patch). And binary data which are sent 
are in same format as file wl1251-nvs.bin. And some bits which 
deterministically send to kernl depends on fcc.
