Instead of aborting country code setup in firmware, use ISO3166 country

revision number.

I am somewhat surprised, but with the brcm-spinoffs (cypress/infineon and
synaptics) my understanding may have been surpassed by reality. Would you
happen to know which chipsets/firmwares require only ISO3166 code and no
rev?

The "no rev" here actually means 'rev' field being zero.  The chipset
I'm running is a BCM43012 from Synaptics, I think.

Firmware: BCM43012/2 wl0: Apr 16 2021 15:25:36 version 18.35.389.63.t2 (wlan=r836194) FWID 01-a8c7bac

Arend,

Does it make sense?  Or is there actually a country code mapping table
I'm not aware of?

I recall the firmware always include a rev 0 for each country code. I will have to ask internally whether that may be used for any chipset. If so, it seems reasonable to use rev 0 as fallback when no mapping table is provided.

Regards,
Arend
