You can use internal regdb and set this correctly in db.txt, eg

+       (5490 - 5600 @ 80), (27), DFS, AUTO-BW
+       (5600 - 5650 @ 40), (27), (600000), DFS, AUTO-BW
+       (5650 - 5710 @ 40), (27), DFS, AUTO-BW

There are also patches for crda/wireless-regdb but not merged, so use
internal regdb.
