this is the first mention about the wiphy helper. Probably need
statement here that call to wiphy_read_of_freq_limits() was added in
this patch which applies the extra limitation info read from DT.

The return value is ignored, which I suppose is fine. So does the
function need a return value at all? Is there a scenario where the DT
info *must* be supplied?
